My org-mode usage had become a bit messy so I decided to go back to first principles and follow through Bernd Hansen's tutorial here
http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html#sec-1 One real eye opener was the completion on category levels inside files as described here: http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html#Refiling (The use of refile as a staging area makes everything a lot easier IMO too). Anyway I removed my numerous agenda-files from my org.el settings and have: (setq org-refile-targets (quote ((org-agenda-files :maxlevel . 5) (nil :maxlevel . 5)))) where org-agenda-files is set to a *directory name* as described in the manual. This set up causes the following error when trying to refile from within a new org item buffer (C-c C-w). ,---- | expand-file-name(nil) | org-get-refile-targets(nil) | org-refile-get-location("Refile to: " nil nil) | org-refile(nil) | call-interactively(org-refile nil nil) `---- regards r. _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
