OK - I did the following.  I allow for functions in the filename
positions of templates, changing org-remember.el as follows:

 

> diff ../../org-6.05b/lisp/org-remember.el ./org-remember.el

321,322c321

<         (file (if (and (nth 1 entry) (stringp (nth 1 entry))

<                   (string-match "\\S-" (nth 1 entry)))

---

>         (file (if (nth 1 entry)

351a351,353

>    (when (functionp file)

>      (setq file (funcall file))

>      (message "after funcall file, file = [%S]" file))

~/emacs/org/lisp

> 

 

So my remember template list includes:

 

     ("Todo (local)" ?t "* TODO %? %i\n"

      ,(lambda () (buffer-file-name
org-select-template-original-buffer))

 

So if I invoke org-remember and choose "t", it will save the resulting
TODO item in the file from which I invoked remember.

 

Could be made more robust, but it works for me.

Let me know if you think this might be generally useful.

Subject: [Orgmode] set remember default file to be originating .org file

 

If I invoke remember from a .org file, e.g. "foo.org", I would like the
default file to which the remembered note is saved to be that file,
"foo.org".

 

I work on several projects at a time, and the project mix changes
monthly.  While on a project, I generate lots of project-specific notes
and TODOs.  So, I like to have project-specific .org files.

 

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks.
