org-id-locations

[Bernt Hansen]

Hi Carsten,

I've recently started using org-ids to find tasks in my org files and
org-mode is storing the ids and associated files in
~/.emacs.d/.org-id-locations.

Now I've modified or linked to locations on my laptop and on my
workstation and these files differ (both are modified differently) so I
need to do something magical to bring everything back in sync.

Manually merging the contents will be a bit of a pain since the order of
the entries are mixed up now.

Do bad things happen if I just delete or ignore syncing these files
between the laptop and workstation?

What's the right way to handle this?

Thanks,
Bernt

Hi Bernt,

M-x org-id-update-id-locations RET

should do the trick.  This only thin that can go wrong that it will  
miss a file.

It scans:

- agenda files and archives
- the files in org-id-extra-files
- all the files that are currently in the id list
- any live buffers visiting an org-mode file

So in case of doubt, load in all org-files and run the command.

This command will also run automatically if an id cannot be found -  
assuming that something has been moved behind org's back - which is  
just your case.

Yes, do not sync them, this will be best.
