Hi,
for my work flow I would like to set up a capture template based on the
ideas described in:
http://www.jboecker.de/2010/04/14/general-reference-filing-with-org-mode.html#sec-5
The original is based on remember but I want to use capture. The
principle is as follows:
In the capture template run some lisp code which appends a function to
`org-capture-before-finalize-hook' which calls `org-attach-mv' to attach
a file.
The function run from capture template looks like this:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun th:filing-install-attach-mv-hook ()
"call this from a capture template to install th:filing-attach-mv-hook"
(add-hook 'org-capture-before-finalize-hook 'th:filing-attach-mv-hook)
(make-local-variable 'kill-buffer-hook)
(add-hook 'kill-buffer-hook 'th:filing-uninstall-attach-mv-hook)
(add-hook 'org-capture-mode-hook 'th:filing-uninstall-attach-mv-hook)
(message "finalize-hook: %s" org-capture-before-finalize-hook))
#+end_src
In the messages buffer I can see that at run time of the function
`th:filing-attach-mv-hook' is in `org-capture-before-finalize-hook'.
Now when I look at `org-capture-before-finalize-hook' in the final
capture buffer `th:filing-attach-mv-hook' is not there.
The same happens with `kill-buffer-hook'. I also tried
`org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook'. Same result.
So I am puzzled here :-(. Is there some caching mechanism involved? For
the author of the article stated above this worked with remember - but
why does it not work with capture.
Any pointers welcome. Thanks for looking into this.

Wild guess: capture template is expanded in a temporary buffer, which is
killed once the process is complete. Therefore, the uninstall hook
installed in `kill-hook-buffer' removes your function before it is
actually used.

that's it! your guess is right! Seems that is what is going on!
The function in `kill-buffer-hook' was to remove
`th:filing-attach-mv-hook' when capture buffer was killed with C-c C-k.
Is there another way to execute lisp code when capture buffer is killed
with C-c C-k?
I could alter `kill-buffer-hook' globally, but then if another buffer is
killed while capture buffer still is there the function is also removed.
Hmm ... - I have to think it over maybe I find a solution for that.
Anyway thanks a lot for the pointer!

I think `org-capture-after-finalize-hook' should be run nonetheless.

Hello Nicolas,
thank you for the pointer. I will try that and report.
Right now I remap C-c C-k in org-capture-mode. That works for the moment, but I'm not satisfied yet.
Regards
