But if it gives you an error saying The file exists, I would say that the cause is that the directory you want to copy already exists in your attach folder. Could it be that in your case? Note that the 'copy-directory' function does not overwrite copied directories. > Just to make sure I understood correctly: you can, with the "copy" > method and the simple modification of the "org-attach-attach" > function, attach a folder to a heading of org mode? > If so, this is exactly what I am looking for, and this would be a > great help. Exactly. I wrote a new version of org-attach-attach, modified that part, as I told you, and added it via advice-add (with :override keyword) so that it overrides the old function. > To clarify my second question, I would like to have a folder system > with org-mode, and therefore only use org-attach to arrange my > documents, exactly like you. > Could you describe your workflow in more detail?

But for that to work well you must rely on a system that ensures a semantic search through the nodes. For me the answer is org-ql (and if you're a helm user, you have helm-org-ql too). Basically it's turning all your Org documents into a human-readable database, where searches can be narrowed down by tags, status, content, etc. Another important point is that this scheme works wonderfully well with org-capture.
