Re: [Orgmode] Disable agenda file autoload?

[Russell Adams]

I just tried an example, here's what happens.

 - Start first emacs session for Org, call agenda to build my agenda
 - Change anything in any buffer that is in the agenda list
 - Open another emacs
   - Because I don't have org set to require, it only loads on demand,
     no issues yet
 - Open another .org file that is not on the agenda list, which
   triggers the load of org-mode
 - I get a popup warning me that another emacs session has the agenda
   file locked

Notice I wasn't trying to build the agenda on opening the other file.

I'm inclined to believe that Org is autoloading all the agenda files
during initialization. If it didn't load the agenda files until the
agenda was called interactively, that'd fix the problem.

I may cause this again with another issue, I have a timed job that
rebuilds the agenda at midnight because I leave my sessions open for
days at a time. If that calls at the midnight boundary, it should
cause this problem. I may still have to use a separate config, or a
hook for agenda that I set the load list just prior to invoking
agenda.

Carsten, if you'd like I can send you my .emacs file direct to verify
that isn't causing the problem.

Thanks.
