Hi,

I am writing a Pomodoro minor mode on top of org-mode. I'm planning to maintain

an Activity Inventory with estimates against each item and move items into a

Todo Today heading each day as I progress through them. The approach is based on

the Pomodoro approach suggested in this book:

http://pragprog.com/book/snfocus/pomodoro-technique-illustrated.

My problem is, as I plan to do a lot of refiling, I wanted to write a function

that will take a heading regular _expression_ and refile the subtree at point underneath

it. I am finding this to be difficult, and am wondering if anybody can offer me

any advice? Is it even possible to refile a subtree to a point using Emacs Lisp?

Based on your example file, you're trying to refile "Todo Today" items into a date tree of sorts below for progress tracking? Is that the gist? Just want to make sure I (and the list) understand what you're trying to move and to where (i.e. elaborate on "point underneath it").

Thanks!

John

 

I've posted my code here: https://gist.github.com/mowen/5225169 My approach uses the org-cut-subtree and org-paste-subtree functions, but it doesn't work in all situations. You can see this from the org-pomodoro-refile-up test which is currently failing.

Thanks in advance,

Martin
