Hi all

i have been having many warnings on Duplicate ID's past month and finally
have time/energy to ask about this ;-)

so each time i start emacs or switch org buffers i get a ton of warnings on
Duplicate ID's:

WARNING: 20 duplicate IDs found, check *Messages* buffer

..... this goes on and on ;-)

2 questions

a) does this have any affect on orgmode performance or other effects i cant
think of?

b) any intelligent way of resolving this?

Breaks MobileOrg, for one.

Assuming they are all programmatically assigned and not explicitly
referenced by you anywhere: delete all the IDs. New ones will be
assigned.

also: does anyone know of a function to go through all org files and
present a nice buffer with all duplicates and a way to auto remove them

i see why this happens since i often copy org headers to add new function
and the ID is copied alongside

It would not be too hard to advise `org-yank' and `org-pasted-subtree'
to delete yanked IDs that are duplicates within the current buffer,
either interactively or automatically. With a bit more work, it could
be extended to scan a whole directory or fileset such as
`org-agenda-files'.
