When following steps 2 and 3, I get
"byte-code: Target files for remember notes must be in Org-mode"
and when making "~/Tools/Org/E.org" the default file name, things seem
to work fine with the one exception that instead of creating the heading
that was specified as default, it creates a "* Notes" heading. This
makes no sense, imho. If a heading is created, why not creat the
default?
On changing the file names, I wanted to avoid that, because the file
names are used in generating the agenda, and I don't want to lose four
characters in the compact view. Also it is generally unnecessary in
terms of using Org mode, as Emacs can also identify files by content,
e.g. my Email file says
"Georg's Email TODO Org File
-*- mode: org; -*-"
So I consider that necessity a bug. The user has explicitly specified
that this is an Org file, remember should not consider itself smarter
than the user and insist on the file name extension.
Here is what I think should be done:
a) use the default heading name specified by the user for
auto-creation, instead of "Notes".
b) remove file name extension sensitivity for Org mode files, or make
it smart enough to *actually* read the buffer to see what mode it is
in, because it should have to open the file to add the item.
How hard would it be to do that? Opinions?
Regards,
Georg
