I'm trying org-index, and I let the assistant build the table for me. At the end of the set, this error occurred: ,---- | Saved org-index-id '50E94CE9-06B3-452E-96B6-FA47AA08B9D6' to /Users/schmitta/.emacs.d/custom.el | let: No catch for tag: created-new-index, nil `---- Is this problematic? Here are a few notes I'm taking as I'm playing with it. First, the table seems to be different from the one on worg. Here are the columns I have: | | | | | | comment | | ref | link | created | count;s | last-accessed | ;c | | | <4> | | | | | I guess "comment" includes Type, description, and Keywords? Or can I extend this table as I see fit? Second, I don't see how to update a link in a table so that it points somewhere else. Should I just copy the "Property" drawer to the new place? Also, I noticed it's impossible to create a link to a file. If a file does not have any org entry, then org-index link will fail with "Before first headline at position 35591 in buffer ...". I can go around this by creating an headline, but then I cannot use saveplace or something like that to put me in the same place in the file (typically at the very end of a long data table, to input more data). Finally, what is the workflow to create a new reference? The way I do it is "link" from the place to link, then call "+fill" in the table. Is there a simpler way (that would do both in one stroke)? Thanks, Alan
