Subject: Rationale for org-directory (any?)
Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2019 21:03:15 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAELgYhdzqMtt4jF0mWrbW3S3xmidQby=dU5YWbKF6VFfOnCCVQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi all,

I often wonder if the way org-directory is currently used has any
sense or is just a historical artifact.

I mean, when I list my refile targets and agenda files I have to
specify full paths, which isn't very convenient. But if instead of a
list I provide a file listing the paths, then the items in this list
are taken to be relative to org-directory. Also, capture targets are
relative to this variable. The result is a mix of relative and
absolute paths in my init.el that makes me turn everything absolute in
order to keep it sane.

Why does it work that way? Is it because some paths are resolved
relative to the current directory (unless they are configured as
absolute paths) while others don't?

Thanks!
