Dear all, some of my org-mode files are getting bigger and bigger. So, I decided to use the archive feature to remove old stuff. However, I was not happy with the current archive feature, because it just puts subtrees unorganized in the archive file.
I was more looking for a way to archive a subtree, but keep the parent structure. Means, if the point is at the subtree "*** FOO" in the following example: * A ** B *** FOO then it should copy the heading "* A" and "** B" to the archive file and then move "*** Foo" to it. The only thing that I found was a feature request from Florian Lindner [fn:1]. A couple of days I was given it a shot and tried to implement that myself. Attached you'll find my attempt. It is a bit hackish, but it works for me. I think the attached code misses two features: 1. it only copies the parent headings with tags, but ignores properties and stuff like that 2. it ignores org-reverse-note-order, but that should not be too hard to add. Before I work on it again, I would like to hear your comments. Have I implemented functions that are already in org-mode? Is this feature useful for other people? Does it in more complicated org-mode files? Best regards Footnotes: [fn:1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2014-05/msg01214.html -- Florian Adamsky http://florian.adamsky.it/
