Follow up: at almost the end of my previous= message I meant to say that:

Hello all,

I have searched the web without finding a solution to the following probl= em:

I am using this snippet in my .emacs.d (using emacs starterki= t) to dynamically and recursively load all org files in the directory "= ;important-directory" and any subdirectory of this directory:
(load-library "find-lisp")
(setq org-agenda-files (find-lisp-find-files "/home/user/important-dir=
ectory" "\.org$"))
The snippet comes from http://orgmode.org/wo= rg/org-faq.html

This set-up has worked fine for more than two years; every t= ime I add a new subdirectory with an .org file, this file gets picked up fo= r the agenda.

My problem is that now suddenly, one subdir= ectory with an .org file does not get picked up and I can not for the world= figure out what is wrong.

I had a file important-directory/sd/file.org that was picked up by the snippet. Then,= without restarting, I changed the name to file-2.org. When refreshing the agenda with "g&quo= t; it complains that the file is missing:
"Non-existent agenda file ..../file.org. [R]emove from list or [A]bort?".
I chose Remove, thinking that restarting emacs with the snippe= t would pick up the new file name instead.

However, what happens is that the new file name is not picke= d up. If I restart/run snippet, org-agenda-files is built but without the n= ew file.

I tested to see if some other code were respons= ible by commenting out the snippet with ;;. Upon restart org-agenda-files w= as not built/created as expected. Uncommenting the snippet and org-agenda-f= iles was back but still without the new file file2.org.

In fact, now I can not get the snippet to pick up any new .org file in the directory .../important-directory or subdiretory! Eve= n when the new .org file sits adjacent to a file that is picked up by the s= nippet.

Also, if I do the same procedure again to another file that = is picked up by the snippet by: changing the name of the file, updating age= nda with g and pressing Abort. Then this file is also not picked up any mor= e; not under the new name or, if I change the name back, under it's old= name.

This is causing serious trouble to me, since I use this syst= em to keep track of deadlines that are really important.

= Does anybody have any ideas?

Kind regards,

Tor
