I'm trying to add a few recursive directories to org-agenda-files, but
can't really find any examples doing this
I got like 250 org files spread over a few directories.
I want to add:
~/foo/bar/
~/baz/quux/
~/hukarz/grault/
..which again includes multiple directories with .org files and a few
other files which I don't want included.
Anyone who does this?

Hi Esben,
I use find-lisp-find-files. I have the following in my .emacs file:
;;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;; Load org agenda files
;;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(load-library "find-lisp")
(add-hook 'org-agenda-mode-hook (lambda ()
(setq org-agenda-files
(find-lisp-find-files "/home/julian/Documents" "\.org$"))
))
With this when I do C-c a, all the *.org files in my Documents directory
get added into the agenda.
According to this
http://archive.today/7McXW#selection-9101.0-9101.4
If you are on a Linux machine you can use the find utility, which can be
faster that the lisp library:
(setq org-agenda-files
(mapcar 'abbreviate-file-name
(split-string
(shell-command-to-string "find ~/org -name \"*.org\"")
"\n")))
I have not tried it though... but I may do it now.
I hope this helps.
Julian

This is not a multiple directories examples, so I tried:
(add-hook 'org-agenda-mode-hook (lambda ()
(setq org-agenda-files
(find-lisp-find-files "~/foo/bar" "\.org$")
(find-lisp-find-files "~/hukarz/quux" "\.org$"))
))
, but that just threw a lisp error.

You need to append all the subsequent lists onto the first list,
creating a big list which can be setq'ed to org-agenda-files.
What you tried to do is the equivalent of
(setq foo '(1 2 3) '(4 5 6))
which is not legal lisp - do C-h f setq RET to find out why.
