Hi Alan

your code seems very intersting and i have been looking for something like
this for a while. yet for me it opens a new frame without org capture. i
use linux (arch) and put in the following code. please note that when i
evaled your code it said:
`flet' is an obsolete macro (as of 24.3); use either `cl-flet' or `cl-letf'.
so i changed flet to cl-flet and it still didnt work :)

here is the code

(defun make-orgcapture-frame ()
  "Create a new frame and run org-capture."
  (interactive)
  (make-frame '((name . "remember") (width . 80) (height . 16)
                (top . 400) (left . 300)
                (font . "Pragmata Pro-16")
                ))
  (select-frame-by-name "remember")
  (delete-other-windows)
  (flet ((switch-to-buffer-other-window (buf) (switch-to-buffer buf)))
    (org-capture nil "t")))

;; delete the frame in that case
(add-hook 'org-capture-after-finalize-hook
          (lambda ()
            (when (equal
                   (cdr (assoc 'name (frame-parameters (selected-frame))))
                   "remember")
              (delete-frame))))


any ideas?

thx

z
