I like your indexing idea. I use a less-complex system involving
symbolic links for my agenda files. Yours sounds better.
This is what I use for my agendas:
(setq org-agenda-files
(list (expand-file-name "~/Documents/+OrgAgendas")))
(defun org-add-agenda-file ()
(interactive)
(make-symbolic-link (buffer-file-name) "~/Documents/+OrgAgendas"))
It is just a quick-and-dirty solution. If I remove or move a file, I get
errors. Also, if I stop using a file for agenda items I must manually
unlink the symlink.
Have you implemented your indexing system Jude or just designed it? I'd
love to see it if you have something working. I imagine it could be used
for todos, cross-referencing tags, properties, etc...
And to prevent Carsten from yelling at me :-D, I would insist that, by
default, Emacs would not create the cross-referencing database. You'd
have to explicitly enable it.
