How do I customize org to refile from one file to another? I am baffled that org-refile is not set up to do this out-of-the-box.
versions:
Org mode version 9.0.9 (9.0.9-30-g796a78-elpa @ c:/Users/rayz/AppData/Roaming/RZHOME/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20170703/)
GNU Emacs 25.2.1 (x86_64-w64-mingw32) of 2017-04-24
Windows 7 SP1
user is a member of the local administrator group
Details…
C-c C-w cannot seem to recognize any of my agenda files, even though org-refile-targets is set to (in custom-set-variables):
(org-refile-targets (quote ((org-agenda-files :regexp . "Tasks"))))
Suppose org-agenda-files contains "~/proj1.org" "~/proj2.org" "~/proj3.org" "~/todo.org".
My expectation is that when I press C-c C-w with point on a subheading of Tasks in todo.org, I can specify, say proj1.org and get the subheading moved to proj1.org under Tasks. However, org-refile responds [No Match], even if I provide the file as ~/proj1.org. And Emacs is visiting proj1.org in another buffer.
So I now do this manually:
Visit todo.org
For Each subheading of Tasks related to proj1…
Place point at the start of subheading
Invoke set-mark-command at end of subheading
; and BTW this is very tricky business, I guess due to narrowing
kill
switch buffer to proj1.org
place point as close to column 1 under the Tasks line
; again very tricky business
yank
switch buffer back to todo.org
Next
(Sorry for posting pseudocode that resembles Vi$ual Ba$ic! The org-babel question for *that* is in queue.)
