Keep a file out of the mobile org org-mobile-files list

Keep a file out of the mobile org org-mobile-files list

[Marcelo de Moraes Serpa]

Hello list,

I have a specific org file that I wound't like to have on my mobile
device (iPhone) and I know that org by defaults adds all the files
from org-agenda-files.

The manual says:

"This operation copies all files currently listed in org-mobile-files
to the directory org-mobile-directory. By default this list contains
all agenda files (as listed in org-agenda-files), but additional files
can be included by customizing org-mobiles-files. File names will be
staged with paths relative to org-directory, so all files should be
inside this directory"

Does that mean that, if no org-mobile-files is defined, org will use
org-agenda-files, and if it is, then it will use the list in
org-mobile-files?

The thing is that, one of the files that are added to the agenda
contains lots of sensitive information, and I wouldn't way to carry it
around on the iPhone.

Thanks in advance,

Marcelo.

I know people on this list are *very* reactive, but a delay of two days
doesn't mean an email will never be answered - please wait for one week
before bumping threads...  thanks!

Bastien, I've tried doing this:

(setq org-mobile-files-exclude-regexp "reference.org")

But reference.org is still being copied to Dropbox. I have org v.
release_7.4-124-gde39b

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Marcelo.

Also note this variable expects a regular expression: 
"reference.org" is okay since it maches itself right,
but I just wanted to point this out, in case.

Yes.

I've added `org-mobile-files-exclude-regexp' that allows you to exclude
files from `org-mobile-files' based on a regexp.

HTH,
