helm-org-agenda-files-headings and bulk actions in agenda mode

[Julien Cubizolles]

helm-org-agenda-files-headings, used with helm-org-format-outline-path
is very convenient for choosing entries when refiling one individual
entry. I couldn't get it to refile *several* entries at once.

I tried

+ marking entries with C-space in helm-org-agenda-files-headings, moving
  to another entry then "Refile current or marked heading to selection
  C-c w" with no success: it only acts on one entry

+ marking the entries in the agenda view with m then again
  helm-org-agenda-files-headings, moving to another entry then "Refile
  current or marked heading to selection C-c w". It doesn't use the
  "m" marked entries
  
+ marking the entries in the agenda view with m and choosing the refile
 action in Bulk mode (B-r) but this doesn't use
 helm-org-agenda-files-headings.


In my opinion, the most convenient way would be to have the "Refile
current or marked heading to selection C-c w" action from
helm-org-agenda-files-headings act on the "m" marked entries in the
agenda mode.

Julien.

Hi Julien,

The helm-org-*-headings functions don't support multiple selection.
AFAIK this is mentioned in the docstrings.  It would be nice to add
that, but Helm is not part of Org mode, so you should mention this on
the Helm issue tracker.

Thanks.

Indeed it's in the helm-org-heading-refile docstrings.

Will do.
