Hello
So what I wanted to discuss was the possibility for a MobileOrg to create
new files from its phone and keep them synched.
Currently the list of synched files is a file called "index.org" stored in
the synch folder and Emacs and MobileOrg use ite for pulling changes.
However everytime Emacs pushes a changes, it overwrites this file. Because
for pushing, Emacs use a second list of files, the variable
'org-agenda-files and it will recreate a new index.org based on
org-agenda-files content. To conclude, if MobileOrg had added a file to
synch in index.org, it will be removed from the list after next Emacs push.
So my suggestion is for Emacs to stop using org-agenda-files to generate
the list of synched file but use the currently existing index.org. In case
index.org does not exist (for eg. at repo initialization), then
org-agenda-files can be used to create it.
To be honest, after a lot of reflexion, I think more and more about using a
external synch mechanism (such as git) instead of using org-mobile.el. A
positive point would be to allow non-Emacs people to use MobileOrg with
synchronization. So I may not even use my own suggestion but I still think
it is worth to mention this "incoherence".
