RE: [Orgmode] set remember default file to be originating .org file

OK – I did the following. I allow for functions in the filename positions of templates, changing org-remember.el as follows:

> diff ../../org-6.05b/lisp/org-remember.el ./org-remember.el

321,322c321

< (file (if (and (nth 1 entry) (stringp (nth 1 entry))

< (string-match "\\S-" (nth 1 entry)))

---

> (file (if (nth 1 entry)

351a351,353

> (when (functionp file)

> (setq file (funcall file))

> (message "after funcall file, file = [%S]" file))

~/emacs/org/lisp

So my remember template list includes:

("Todo (local)" ?t "* TODO %? %i\n"

,(lambda () (buffer-file-name org-select-template-original-buffer))

So if I invoke org-remember and choose “t”, it will save the resulting TODO item in the file from which I invoked remember.

Could be made more robust, but it works for me.

Let me know if you think this might be generally useful.

Subject: [Orgmode] set remember default file to be originating .org file

If I invoke remember from a .org file, e.g. “foo.org”, I would like the default file to which the remembered note is saved to be that file, “foo.org”.

I work on several projects at a time, and the project mix changes monthly. While on a project, I generate lots of project-specific notes and TODOs. So, I like to have project-specific .org files.

Any ideas appreciated.
