Problem with archive location

Problem with archive location

[Matthew Lundin]

Hi Carsten et al,

When I have multiple org files archive to a single file, as in 

,----
| (setq org-archive-location "~/2009.org_archive::") 
`----

I find that including archive files in the agenda display (C-u v)
results in multiple identical entries in the agenda display (in my
case, when doing a word search).

In fact, the number of duplicate lines exactly matches the number of
agenda files that archive to that file (in my case 16). Is the agenda
function perhaps searching the archive file once for each of the
agenda files and then displaying the results as separate lines?

By the way, I find the same thing happens when I use the example in
the customize instructions:

,----
| "~/org/archive.org::"
| 	Archive in file ~/org/archive.org (absolute path), as top-level trees.
`----

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,

indeed, this is a bug.  Fixed now, thanks for the report.

Thanks for fixing this. 

I had one more question/request concerning archives. Would it perhaps
be possible to enable the file name substitution (i.e., "%s") after
the double semi-colon, so that the file name can be used as a headline
within the archive file? My ideal setup would be to have a single
archive file for each year's work, with headlines named according to
the original files of the archived subtrees.

E.g.,

,----
| * finances.org
| ** archived item
| * notes.org
| ** archived item
| ** another archived item
`----

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Carsten,

I should clarify a couple things in the previous post:

I'm specifically referring to org-archive-location here.

This should read "after the double colon".

Sorry to follow up with one more post. Though I confess that I'm on
shaky ground here, I seem to have been able to accomplish the desired
behavior (i.e., a single yearly archive file with headings showing the
original file name) by advising the function org-archive-subtree.

,----
| (setq org-archive-location (concat "~/archive/" (format-time-string "%Y") ".org::"))
|
| (defadvice org-archive-subtree (around my-org-archive-subtree-around)
|   (let ((org-archive-location (concat "~/archive/" (format-time-string "%Y") ".org::* "(buffer-name))))
|     ad-do-it))
| 
| (ad-activate 'org-archive-subtree)
`----

If anyone sees anything blatantly wrong or hopelessly naive about this
setup, feel free to let me know. If it looks O.K., then please feel
free to disregard my previous request about changing the behavior of
org-archive-location.

Best,

Matt

This is now implemented.  Thanks for the idea.

Hi Matt,

sure, I can see how this will be useful when pointing a number
of files to the same archive.

I have implemented this.
