I started working towards a patch for this and now I am thinking how not to break existing functionality. Or should we force everyone to be relative to org-directory? Here is the simple patch which straight away expands the file names with org-directory. * org.el: + org-expand-file-list () Expand the list of agenda files in "org-agenda-files" with "org-directory" as base directory. + org-agenda-files () Call org-expand-file-list() if "org-agenda-files" is a list.
