Writing an new org entry to a .gpg file - ends up in .org file instead

Writing an new org entry to a .gpg file - ends up in .org file instead

[Richard Riley]

I have an org template set up like this and frequently use the journal
option


,----
| (setq org-capture-templates '(("t" "Todo" entry
| 			       (file+headline "" "Tasks To Refile")
| 			       "* TODO %?\n\t:PROPERTIES:\n\t:DateCreated: %T\n\t:END:\n%i\n%a")
| 			      ("c" "Contacts" entry (file "~/Org/contacts.org")
| 			       "* %(org-contacts-template-name)
| :PROPERTIES:
| :EMAIL: %(org-contacts-template-email)
| :END:")
| 			      ("j" "Journal" entry
| 			       (file+datetree "journal.gpg")
| 			       "* %?\n\t:PROPERTIES:\n\t:DateCreated: %T\n\t:END:\n%i\n%a")
| 			      ("n" "Quick note to refile later" entry
| 			       (file+headline "" "Notes To Refile")
| 			       "* %?\n\t:PROPERTIES:\n\t:DateCreated: %T\n\t:END:\n%i\n%a")
| 			      ("w" "web capture" entry
| 			       (file "refile.org")
| 			       "* %a %?\n\t:PROPERTIES:\n\t:DateCreated: %T\n\t:END:n%i")))
`----

Notice the journal.gpg which has a first line :

,----
| ;;-*- mode:org -*- epa-file-encrypt-to: ("rileyrg@gmail.com") -*-
`----

so I can open the file in org mode just fine.

So far so good, but when I C-c C-c the new journal item its being
written to journal.org instead of journal.gpg.

I'm guessing I missed something in my browse of the manual, but what?

cheers

I don't know if this may help but I do something similar.  In my case,
my file is named "secure.org.gpg".  Maybe try "journal.org.gpg" in your
case, i.e. add the ".org" element?

Hi Eric,

I tried this and its still creating and writing out to journal.org.

(org-mode with emacs 24 snapshot)

Interesting.  It must have something to do with the extra settings you
have for that template.  My template is:

("s" "secure" entry (file+datetree+prompt "~/git/notes/secure.org.gpg")
     "* %(format-time-string \"%H:%M\") %^{Entry} %^G\n%i%?")

I have just tested it (hadn't added a secure entry in a while) and it
works just fine.  This is with emacs snapshot (most recent) and org from
last night my time (see signature for version).

Maybe try without the PROPERTY etc. bits you have in your template?

thanks for that example, that worked... no idea why. Anyone? (I hate
prompts for tags etc ;)
