Hi,

I am writing a Pomodoro minor mode on top of org-mode. I'm planning to= maintain
an Activity Inventory with estimates against each item and move items = into a
Todo Today heading each day as I progress through them. The approach is bas= ed on
the Pomodoro approach suggested in this book:

My problem is, as I plan to do a lot of refiling, I wan= ted to write a function
that will take a heading regular expressi= on and refile the subtree at point underneath
it. I am finding th= is to be difficult, and am wondering if anybody can offer me
any advice? Is it even possible to refile a subtree to a point using E= macs Lisp?


Based on your example file, you're trying to refile "Todo T= oday" items into a date tree of sorts below for progress tracking? Is = that the gist? Just want to make sure I (and the list) understand what you&= #39;re trying to move and to where (i.e. elaborate on "point underneat= h it").


Thanks!
John

I've posted my code here: https://gist.github.com/mowen/522516= 9=C2=A0My approach uses the org-cut-subtree and org-paste-subtree funct= ions, but it doesn't work in all situations. You can see this from the = org-pomodoro-refile-up test which is currently failing.

Thanks in advance,

Martin=C2= =A0
