Re: Attachments and refiling

[Darlan Cavalcante Moreira <darcamo@gmail.com>]

I use org-attach regularly and consider it to be a great feature of
org-mode. Since I only attach to the sub-tree (instead of to a different
file) I have not this problem. However, sometimes a set the attach
directory of two different headings to the same folder (when it makes
sense) and if org always moved the attached files it would break the other
sub-tree.

An alternative is to change the attach directory in the archived entry to
point to the original attach directory where the files are. When archiving
to a file in a different folder org could ask if it should also move the
attached files or simply change the attach directory accordingly (I would
prefer this as the default if "ask" as the default was considered too
annoying).
