Hi. When I capture something in MobileOrg, it by default is classified as
"Captures" and, when I do org-mobile-pull, those captures /silently/ go into
~/org/from-mobile.org. This is bad.
So one workflow would be to write some code that warns me if
~/org/from-mobile.org is non-empty, and find a way of hooking it into
org-mobile-pull. Then:
1) Capture something in MobileOrg
2) Do org-mobile-pull
3) If the code I wrote as above warns me that ~/org/from-mobile.org is
non-empty, then visit it, go through the entries, fix them (adding more
information now that I have a real keyboard) and use org-refile.
Is there a more practical and easier option?
Regards

Hi Jorge,
My mobile capture work flow is:
1) Automatically pull whenever changes are made
2) Pulled items go into "refile.org"
3) refile.org tags all items as REFILE with:
#+FILETAGS: REFILE
as the top line
4) My default (custom) agenda shows a REFILE section if and only if it exists.
In more detail,
1)
;; Pull whenever mobileorg.org changes http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3456782/emacs-lisp-how-to-monitor-changes-of-a-file-directory
(defvar monitor-attributes nil "Cached file attributes to be monitored.")
(defun install-monitor (file secs)
(run-with-timer
0 secs
(lambda (f p)
(let ((att (elt (file-attributes f) 5)))
(unless (or (null monitor-attributes) (equalp monitor-attributes att))
(org-mobile-pull)
(org-mobile-push)
)
(setq monitor-attributes att)))
file secs))
(defvar monitor-timer (install-monitor (concat org-mobile-directory "/mobileorg.org") 5) "Check if MobileOrg/mobileorg.org is changed every 5s.")
And 4)
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(
("c" "My Custom Agenda"
(
(tags "REFILE" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "REFILE")))
...etc...
AND
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2015-06/msg00266.html
to only show the REFILE section if items are there.
Hope this helps,
-k.

That is more or less what I do/what happens in my case:
I get a notification that flagged.org has changed (though I don't recall
ever having configured myself anything explicitly; I guess it is just that
the buffer is open). And when I feel like it, I visit it, add the info
wherever I need to, delete everything from it, and save flagged.org empty.
Best,
R.

Thank you, this is quite better than what I had.
