Hi!

When someone uses the (very cool) feature
org-tree-to-indirect-buffer[1] with multiple indirect buffers in
parallel (using a prefix) instead of narrowing/widening to work -
which I very much plan to do more often[2] -, you end up with a
buffers like:

- myorgmode.org-1
- myorgmode.org-2
- myorgmode.org-3

This is not very satisfying to me because I tend to forget, which
sub-folder I can expect in myorgmode.org-2 ...

How about using IDs of the sub-tree headings (if found) in order to
name the buffer? In case someone is using custom IDs (like me), the
list would look like:

- myorgmode.org-1              (-> no ID found for this sub-heading)
- myorgmode.org-project-foobar              (-> :ID: project-foobar)
- myorgmode.org-2013-10-25-customerX  (-> :ID: 2013-10-25-customerX)

In case there is a similar issue somewhere else in Org-mode where a
condensed string is generated out of the heading line, this should
be a viable option instead of the ID as well.

I guess, this should be not that hard to implement and it brings
much more usability (differ the buffers according to their name) to
the user.

Thanks!

The attached patch does name indirect buffers after the current tree
heading -- thanks for this idea.

Would anyone else find this useful?

Subject: [PATCH] org.el (org-get-indirect-buffer): New argument `heading'

* org.el (org-get-indirect-buffer): New argument `heading'

Thanks to Karl Voit for suggesting this.

Thank *you* for implementing this! It helps keeping overview in my
list of open buffers!
