Subject: function for cleaning org-attach directories
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2015 16:57:30 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <877fq0o4xx.fsf@ericabrahamsen.net> (raw)
I use org-attach a lot, and if you're not careful you can get a "data/"
directory of many gigabytes. Not a problem, until you want to rsync it
and it takes all day...
I wrote this to clean my attach directories. I'm not sure how portable
it is (and I'm really not pleased with the (concat attach-dir "/" d "/"
d+)), but I'm posting it to see if it's useful to anyone.
Comments/improvements welcome! If the final product is desirable, I can
work it up as a patch.
Eric

(full-path (concat attach-dir "/" d "/" d+)))
(unless (org-id-find id)
(shell-command (format "rm -fr %s" full-path))))))))
