Re: [Orgmode] org files and directory hierarchies
2009/1/8 Carsten Dominik domi...@science.uva.nl Did you see Matt' answer in the other thread? That will also work for you. I did, and it does work thanks. I've had some difficulty with it previously because I use viper, which rebinds C-u unless you're in insert state. - Carsten http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/10330/focus=10331 Regards David Lord ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

The data directory hierarchy isn't really human readable (i.e., it doesn't mirror the org outline hierarchy).

Rather, directories containing files are attached to outline headings via automatically generated IDs. Well, why not allow the user to choose a directory, there's no real reason why the directory structure has to match the org file? I started using attachments when the feature came out and really liked them, especially the simple interface for choosing a file to attach (even better with ido). But after a while, I found the fact that I could only reasonably get to attachments through the org file difficult to work with - what happens when I've finished a task and archived it off? I've got to go hunting through the archive file to find the old task before I can find the attachments. So I stopped using them and decided I'd use normal hyperlinks instead. But then I found out just how awkward is is to have to either cut-and-paste the directory path or type it in manually whenever I want to link to a file.
