Hi,
I have a perhaps unusual way of organizing my agenda files like this:
project1/notes.org
project2/notes.org
...
and I use rename-buffer in each notes.org to make sure I can tell them
apart, e.g.,
- In project1/notes.org, I have (rename-buffer "project1.org")
- In project2/notes.org, I have (rename-buffer "project2.org")
This works fine with commands like C-c b (org-iswitchb), which
displays the renamed buffers ( "project1.org" and "project2.org") in
the minibuffer prompt. However, C-c w (org-refile) does not find
these targets --- it would be nice if it did! I think the "problem"
is in the function org-get-refile-targets in org.el, but I'm not good
at hacking elisp.
I am using ido completion (org-completion-use-ido is non-nil).
Thanks!
Hsiu-Khuern.

Did you try uniquify?

Hi Samuel,
Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried it, and it does a nice job
choosing easy-to-identify buffer names. But those buffer names again
do not come up for selection by C-c C-w (org-refile).

Best,

I think org-refile ignores duplicate entries and refiles to the first
match. I have observed this same behaviour even for sub-trees with same
names.
e.g.
* top headline
** sub-heading
Text for sub-heading 1
** sub-heading
Text for sub-heading 2

I'm going to try this tomorrow, but in case it doesn't work with C-c C-w,
I would like to vote +1 for this feature.
I have a wiki (in org-mode) and my personal notes (in org-mode) and
they're stored in different directories. I also have common filenames
like this:
wiki/grails.org
wiki/groovy.org
wiki/vim.org
and
personal/grails.org
personal/groovy.org
personal/vim.org
I resolve this problem currently by refiling my personal items first,
then refiling
my wiki last. I have two custom methods that set my refile target to
my wiki or my personal directory. I run njn/set-refile-personal when
I want to refile to my personal directory, and I run
njn/set-refile-notesmine when I want to refile to my wiki.
(defun njn/set-refile-personal()
(interactive)
(setq org-refile-targets
(quote ((njn/personal-org-files :maxlevel . 5))))
)
(defun njn/set-refile-notesmine()
(interactive)
(setq org-refile-targets
(quote
(njn/notesmine-org-files :maxlevel . 5)))
)
Anyway, I would love it if I didn't have to do it this way, and I'll
check out uniquify tomorrow.
Maybe a solution would be to use a file-property to give a buffer an
alias when refiling? Like this:
-------- wiki/grails.org
#+refile-alias: WGrails
-------- personal/grails.org would just use "grails.org"
