Hi Jorge,
My mobile capture work flow is:
1) Automatically pull whenever changes are made
2) Pulled items go into "refile.org"
3) refile.org tags all items as REFILE with:
#+FILETAGS: REFILE
as the top line
4) My default (custom) agenda shows a REFILE section if and only if it exists.
In more detail,
1)
;; Pull whenever mobileorg.org changes http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3456782/emacs-lisp-how-to-monitor-changes-of-a-file-directory
(defvar monitor-attributes nil "Cached file attributes to be monitored.")
(defun install-monitor (file secs)
(run-with-timer
0 secs
(lambda (f p)
(let ((att (elt (file-attributes f) 5)))
(unless (or (null monitor-attributes) (equalp monitor-attributes att))
(org-mobile-pull)
(org-mobile-push)
)
(setq monitor-attributes att)))
file secs))
(defvar monitor-timer (install-monitor (concat org-mobile-directory "/mobileorg.org") 5) "Check if MobileOrg/mobileorg.org is changed every 5s.")
And 4)
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(
("c" "My Custom Agenda"
(
(tags "REFILE" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "REFILE")))
...etc...
AND
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2015-06/msg00266.html
to only show the REFILE section if items are there.
Hope this helps,
-k.
