It's quite simple: capture all the tasks into the proper place right away, instead of dumping them into one place and sorting out later. Firstly, there's capturing into project. A project is just a heading at gtd.org/Projects/project-name. Once a task is in a project, there's rarely any need to refile it. I tag each task with the project tag anyway, just in case. The project setup is a list entry like this: '("TINY" "y" "tiny.el") That's the tag, key binding and heading name. I push this data into `org-capture-templates`. Now I can capture into project gtd.org/Projects/tiny.el with "C-- y". Secondly, there's a special capture for pdf files, I've posted it on the list before. Thirdly, there are captures from `org-protocol`. I have this setup: (setq org-protocol-default-template-key "l") (push '("l" "Link" entry (function org-handle-link) "* TODO %(org-wash-link)\nAdded: %U\n%(org-link-hooks)\n%?") org-capture-templates) `org-handle-link` will distinguish: 1. Links for StackOverflow questions, putting them in wiki/stack.org/Questions. 2. Links to YouTube, downloading the video with `youtube-dl` and including both the link to the original and the downloaded videos in the captured item. I highly recommend `youtube-dl`: watching videos in vlc compared to firefox is like editing in Emacs compared to gedit:) 3. All the rest will be dumped into ent.org/Articles. `org-wash-link` currently just strips the unnecessary " - Stack Overflow" from the link description, since the task is already in wiki/stack.org/Questions. It's possible to add other rules per website of course. Hopefully some of the described tricks are useful. I can post the code on github if anyone's interested in the details. regards, Oleh ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Nice idea. A quick grance at `org-refile' in org.el, something like this will do: (defun org-refile-to-myfile () "Refile to myfile.org" (interactive) (org-refile nil nil '("my refiling pos" "myfile.org" "" 0))) The 3rd argument seems to be `(list message file re pos)', but not sure how `re' and `pos' works. Could someone enlignten me? -- yashi ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
