Hi, for my work flow I would like to set up a capture template based on the ideas described in:
http://www.jboecker.de/2010/04/14/general-reference-filing-with-org-mode.html#sec-5 The original is based on remember but I want to use capture. The principle is as follows: In the capture template run some lisp code which appends a function to `org-capture-before-finalize-hook' which calls `org-attach-mv' to attach a file. The function run from capture template looks like this: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (defun th:filing-install-attach-mv-hook () "call this from a capture template to install th:filing-attach-mv-hook" (add-hook 'org-capture-before-finalize-hook 'th:filing-attach-mv-hook) (make-local-variable 'kill-buffer-hook) (add-hook 'kill-buffer-hook 'th:filing-uninstall-attach-mv-hook) (add-hook 'org-capture-mode-hook 'th:filing-uninstall-attach-mv-hook) (message "finalize-hook: %s" org-capture-before-finalize-hook)) #+end_src In the messages buffer I can see that at run time of the function `th:filing-attach-mv-hook' is in `org-capture-before-finalize-hook'. Now when I look at `org-capture-before-finalize-hook' in the final capture buffer `th:filing-attach-mv-hook' is not there. The same happens with `kill-buffer-hook'. I also tried `org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook'. Same result. So I am puzzled here :-(. Is there some caching mechanism involved? For the author of the article stated above this worked with remember - but why does it not work with capture. Any pointers welcome. Thanks for looking into this. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards Thomas Holst
