Probably. I use my own server and just entered the URL. (I don't use dropbox at all.) > 2) Can I set org-mobile-directory to the directory containing my org > files, or will this lead to problems? I wouldn't. MobileOrg has a concept of the real org files, files converted for mobile use, and reintegrating changes from those back into the real org files. Also while real org can compute agendas, the ones you see in mobileorg are precomputed. > 3) If so, is it possible to set org-mobile-inbox-for-pull to somewhere > outside this directory, so that its contents isn't included in the > agenda? (I have org-agenda-files set to "~/Dropbox/Work/Organiser".) Probably that would work. I have it in ~/ORG/from-mobile.org, but I only put files in the agenda explicitly. I think it's just a place to put notes that have been added so you can refile, so it should be ok to be in a directory not with the rest of your org files. > 4) For the same reason, is it possible to make sure the files > agenda.org and index.org that MobileOrg creates are placed somewhere > outside the agenda directory? I don't know what you mean by agenda directory exactly, but I think you should have directory for mobileorg and not have that directory used by emacs org at all. You could probably figure out how to prepare files for mobileorg so that the real org files are read, but I'm not sure that would be ok. Of course you could extend both org-mode and mobileorg to do what you want. What would be cool is to run emacs on the ipad, but unfortunately Apple's app licensing terms are incompatible with the GPL. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (NetBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk3LIsoACgkQ+vesoDJhHiW0lwCcCGk+CXBVWbc/iiTLZO1CMs6G my0An2fy83tXMulGB8hpsqRBtLrWpdwS =TAZR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
