Hi again all
So after further long investigation it seems to me that the issues is
caused from the capture template of all things. if i switch back to a basic
capture template like this:
(setq org-capture-templates
'(("t" "Todo" entry (file+headline "~/Dropbox/Org/agenda/TODO.org"
"Tasks")
"* TODO %?\n %i\n %a")
("j" "Journal" entry (file+datetree "~/org/journal.org")
"* %?\nEntered on %U\n %i\n %a")))
i dont seem to get the changed on disk error again. i have tried isolating
the exact cause with no success. my config looks like this:
(setq org-capture-templates
(quote (
("x" "todo_nix" entry (file+headline
"/home/zeltak/Dropbox/Org/agenda/TODO.org" "Linux")
"* TODO %^{Description} %^g Added: %U" )
("o" "dl_movie" entry (file+headline
"/home/zeltak/Dropbox/Org/agenda/TODO.org" "Movies")
"* TODO %^{Description} %^g\nAdded: %U" )
("v" "dl_TV" entry (file+headline
"/home/zeltak/Dropbox/Org/agenda/TODO.org" "TV")
"* TODO %^{Description} %^g\nAdded: %U" )
("c" "dl_Comics" entry (file+headline
"/home/zeltak/Dropbox/Org/agenda/TODO.org" "Comics")
"* TODO %^{Description} %^g\nAdded: %U" )
("m" "dl_music" entry (file+headline
"/home/zeltak/Dropbox/Org/agenda/TODO.org" "Music")
"* TODO %^{Description} %^g\nAdded: %U" )
("h" "todo_home" entry (file+headline
"/home/zeltak/Dropbox/Org/agenda/TODO.org" "Home")
"* TODO %?\n%T" )
("u" "todo_uni" entry (file+headline
"/home/zeltak/Dropbox/Org/agenda/TODO.org" "Uni")
"* TODO %?\n%T" )
("f" "todo_food" entry (file+headline
"/home/zeltak/Dropbox/Org/agenda/TODO.org" "Food")
"* %?\n%T\n%^{rating}p" )
("w" "org-protocol" entry (file "~/Dropbox/Org/refile/refile.org")
"* TODO Review %c\n%U\n" :immediate-finish t)
("a" "Appointment" entry (file+headline
"~/Dropbox/Org/refile/TODO.org" "Cal")
"* APPT %^{Description} %^g %? Added: %U")
("p" "Phone call" entry (file "~/Dropbox/Org/refile/refile.org")
"* PHONE %? :PHONE:\n%U" :clock-in t :clock-resume t)
("h" "Habit" entry (file "~/Dropbox/Org/refile/refile.org")
"* NEXT %?\n%U\n%a\nSCHEDULED: %(format-time-string
\"<%Y-%m-%d %a .+1d/3d>\")\n:PROPERTIES:\n:STYLE:
habit\n:REPEAT_TO_STATE: NEXT\n:END:\n"))))
i still dont know which one is creating the issues
Any help would be massively appreciated as i have been fighting this
for over a week with no solution :(
best
