Hi Florian,

This code looks useful and an improvement over the previous setup I was
using. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2014-05/msg01218.html

Can you explain what else is needed for your code to work? Currently I
have

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq org-archive-location (concat org-directory "/archive/%s_archive::"))
#+END_SRC

But I don't see things archived as subtrees with just this. Do I need
new/different configuration to work with your code?

Thanks,

  -k.
