Hi,
I've been using Org-Mode for a while now and would like to know how to
configure the `C-l'-command (inserting a link) to work on a dual boot
system.
Here is what I am trying to accomplish:
Inserting a link to file works fine using the command `C-l'. But off
course it makes a difference which OS I use.
I have a working Emacs-Snapshot on a dual boot machine (both similar
versions 22.0.50.1).
For Org-Mode (and its agenda files) I use the following configuration:
-------------------------
(cond
((file-directory-p "C:/Programme")
; do Windows stuff:
(setq org-directory "F:\org-stuff")
(setq org-remember-templates
'((?t "* TODO %?\n %i\n %a" "F:/org-stuff/TODO.org")
(?j "* %U %?\n\n %i\n %a" "F:/org-stuff/JOURNAL.org")))
(setq org-agenda-files (quote ("f:/org-stuff/computerstuff.org"
"f:/org-stuff/heinzerling.org" "f:/org-stuff/THESIS.org"
"f:/org-stuff/privat.org" "f:/org-stuff/TODO.org"
"f:/org-stuff/JOURNAL.org")))
)
((file-directory-p "/home/patrick/")
; do GNU/Linux stuff
(setq org-directory "~/data/org-stuff")
(setq org-remember-templates
'((?t "* TODO %?\n %i\n %a" "~/data//org-stuff/TODO.org")
(?j "* %U %?\n\n %i\n %a" "~/data//org-stuff/JOURNAL.org")))
(setq org-agenda-files (quote ("~/data/org-stuff/computerstuff.org"
"~/data/org-stuff/heinzerling.org" "~/data/org-stuff/THESIS.org"
"~/data/org-stuff/privat.org" "~/data/org-stuff/TODO.org"
"~/data/org-stuff/JOURNAL.org")))
)
)
-------------------------
What would be a simple way to adopt this feature when using `C-l'?
My GNU/Linux partition is: ~/data
My WindowsXPSP2 is: f:/
They both reach the same directory.
I'd like `C-l' to think the same way.
Can I store the variables "/home/patrick/data/org-stuff" (for GNU/Linux)
and "F:\org-stuff" (Windows) in a variable?
Any ideas?
Regards
Patrick

If you store file names relative to your home directory, then org-mode
should be able to use ~/.... filenames which would be general. Is F:
your home directory?

Hi Carsten,

I do not have my org-files in my home directory (neither on GNU/Linux
nor on Windows). That is why the expansion of "~" does not seem to help
here.
Just to clear things up a bit: "F:\" is not my home directory. My home
directory under Cygwin is "C:\cygwin\home\home\pduser". "F:\" is a fat32
partition I use to share my data between Windows and GNU/Linux. From
GNU/Linux this partition is called "~/data/".
Tim O Callaghan was so kind to give me a tip off-list using the setenv
variable. Since the paths I'm using are not the same in relation to my
different home directories this might be a feasible solution.
My approach so far doesn't work (probably just my bad lisp):
-------------------------
(cond
((file-directory-p "C:/Programme")
; do Windows stuff:
(setenv "DATA_HOME" (expand-file-name "F:/"))
)
((file-directory-p "/home/patrick/")
; do GNU/Linux stuff
(setenv "DATA_HOME" (expand-file-name "~/data"))
)
)
(setq org-directory (concat (getenv "DATA_HOME") "/org-stuff"))
(setq org-remember-templates
'((?t "* TODO %?\n %i\n %a" (concat (getenv "DATA_HOME")
"/org-stuff/TODO.org")
(?j "* %U %?\n\n %i\n %a" (concat (getenv "DATA_HOME")
"/org-stuff/JOURNAL.org")))))
(setq org-agenda-files (quote ((concat (getenv "DATA_HOME")
"/org-stuff/computerstuff.org")
(concat (getenv "DATA_HOME") "/org-stuff/heinzerling.org" )
(concat (getenv "DATA_HOME") "/org-stuff/THESIS.org" )
(concat (getenv "DATA_HOME") "/org-stuff/privat.org" )
(concat (getenv "DATA_HOME") "/org-stuff/TODO.org" )
(concat (getenv "DATA_HOME") "/org-stuff/JOURNAL.org"))))
-------------------------
I receive following error message when trying to invoke the agenda from
an org file:
-------------------------
org-check-agenda-file: Wrong type argument: stringp, (concat (getenv
"DATA_HOME") "/org-stuff/computerstuff.org")
-------------------------
TIA
Patrick

Quote prevents evaulation of concat. You need to do
(setq org-agenda-files
(list (concat (getenv "DATA_HOME") "/org-stuff/computerstuff.org")
(concat (getenv "DATA_HOME") "/org-stuff/heinzerling.org" )
(concat (getenv "DATA_HOME") "/org-stuff/THESIS.org" )
(concat (getenv "DATA_HOME") "/org-stuff/privat.org" )
(concat (getenv "DATA_HOME") "/org-stuff/TODO.org" )
(concat (getenv "DATA_HOME") "/org-stuff/JOURNAL.org")))
