Hello

I'm using org-capture together with org-refile to organize my
todo-items. I also have my notes distributed over several org-files, so
I have set org-refile-use-outline-path to file. There are two things
that I wished org-refile could do, but don't know how to achieve:

a) Include local headers for level1 (instead of only file names)

Using org-refile-use-outline-path=file the path for org refile always
has to start with the file name. It would be great, if in case I don't
give a file name, the current file name would be assumed and <tab> would
show org-file names and current top headings for the first level. This
would be helpful, since I mostly refile to the same file, but sometimes
move things to other files.

b) creating sublevels on the fly

It would be nice, if I could create new a sublevel during the refiling
process. That is, if I have something like

* A
** B

I could refile to A/B/new/ and org-mode would ask me if I want to create
a new subheading with a y/n question. At the moment I get a "no match"
error.

Is this already possible with the current org-mode or can it easily be
added?

thanks

ARUN

Did you try this?

(setq org-refile-use-outline-path t)

(setq org-refile-allow-creating-parent-nodes t)

I used to have this set to file, but then I _always_ had to add the file
name even for local headlines. I now switched to ido using:

(setq ido-everywhere t)
(setq ido-enable-flex-matching t)
(setq ido-max-directory-size 100000)
(ido-mode (quote both))

(setq org-refile-use-outline-path nil)
(setq org-completion-use-ido t)
(setq org-outline-path-complete-in-steps nil)
(setq org-refile-targets '((org-agenda-files :maxlevel . 5)
(("~/org/all.org_done" "~/org/work.org_done") :maxlevel . 5) ))

(defun ap/verify-refile-target ()
  "Exclude todo keywords with a done state from refile targets"
  (or (not (member (nth 2 (org-heading-components)) org-done-keywords)))
      (save-excursion (org-goto-first-child))
  )
(setq org-refile-target-verify-function 'ap/verify-refile-target)

which works very well for me, especially once I added the
verify-refile-target.

exactly what I wanted :)

Thanks

It does not require the file name here and now.  
Maybe an old behavior.

Nice.  Maybe you could add this somewhere on Worg?

Best,

sure, should I create a new headline "refile" on the tutorial place or
should it go somewhere else?

As you want.  I think worg/org-hacks.org could do.
