category link idea

category link idea

[cezar]

Hello,

  I was browsing my agenda buffer and I got hit by this idea: is it
  possible to have the categories linked ?

  For example I have this MyRailsProject in my agenda buffer and
  clicking the MyRailsProject: part should open up dired pointed at
  ~/MyRailsProject which could be pretty handy, instead of firing up
  dired and browsing to that folder.

  What do you guys think ?

Regards,
Cezar

Just add a [[file:~/MyRailsProject]] link to your MyRailsProject agenda
task and then C-c C-o on the link to open the dired directory in another
window.

What I meant was something more like :

#+CATEGORY: [[/home/me/projects/MyProject][MyProject]]

and that would make it a link but it behaves wrong, meaning that the
agenda view show something like:

MyProject:Scheduled:  TODO my task for the project

with the word MyProject underlined. (notice how it joins them together)

Hi Cezar,

by accident, this seems to work for me already.  If I click on
the category, the file is opened.

Can you describe this ? What do you mean "by accident" and what file ?
Are you using the [[][]] link format for the category name ?

By accident I mean that I never intended this to work.  But Org-mode  
activates any links in the agenda buffer, so it will also
activate this one.

Yes, I do, the highlight extends beyond the category, just because
the whole line has a mouse-face property.  But if you click on the
category with mouse-2, the link will be followed.

I am not saying that it is a nice implementation, but is does work.

The only thing that bothers me is that it's not aligned right like the
rest. Can that be fixed ?

Unfortunately that requires more than I am willing to put into this.

Sorry.
