Hello,
I found out that using ido-mode is very useful for refiling. However
there is one thing I don't know how to do: how to create a parent node
in this setup.
Here is my configuration (straight from the usual
http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html)
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
; Use full outline paths for refile targets - we file directly with IDO
(setq org-refile-use-outline-path t)
; Targets complete directly with IDO
(setq org-outline-path-complete-in-steps nil)
; Allow refile to create parent tasks with confirmation
(setq org-refile-allow-creating-parent-nodes (quote confirm))
; Use IDO for both buffer and file completion and ido-everywhere to t
(setq org-completion-use-ido t)
(setq ido-everywhere t)
(setq ido-max-directory-size 100000)
(ido-mode (quote both))
#+END_SRC
Let's say I already have an entry "Work/Trips" and I want to refile some
task to a new "Paris" project under "Trips". If I "C-c C-w" and type
"Trips", I can see that the entry is selected. However, I don't know how
to say "select this entry and let me type some more to add to it". If I
continue typing "/Paris" I get a "no match" and an error
"org-refile-check-position: Please save the buffer to a file before
refiling" (which probably happens because I'm inside the agenda, and the
refiling target "Trpis/Paris" makes no sense).
I tried doing a "C-f" as when using ido with find-file, but it does not
do anything.
Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Alan

I haven't been able to make this work with my setup after switching to
IDO. My current workaround is visit the target with C-u C-c C-w and
create the new target heading, then return and refile to that -- but
it's not very elegant.
My attempts are refiling and creating with IDO give the following error:

and to get that I have to type the entire target with a trailing slash
like this:
Tasks/Organization/foo/ (todo.org)
to try to create foo as a 3rd level heading under Tasks/Organization in
todo.org but that doesn't work for me.
I haven't found a way to edit the IDO completion so I can just add foo/
to it in the appropriate place.
Sorry that's not much help :/

Bernt
