Re: Bring up a screen giving option to open a series of orgmode files

[Gerardo Moro]

Thanks to both of you,

find Documents/Org/ -type f -iname "*.org" -exec echo " * [[file:`realpath {}`][{}]]" > meta-org.org \;

Instead of "Documents/Org/" you should put there your own top

directory where you keep Org files.

Then open meta-org.org

I am confused. I don't understand the syntax. The line "find Documents/Org/ -type f -iname "*.org" -exec echo " * [[file:`realpath {}`][{}]]" > meta-org.org \;" should be a function of its own? 

M-x find-dired RET Documents/Org/ RET -iname "*.org" RET

Once I press "RET", what does -iname mean? I am new in Emacs. You mean, this is just using find-dired to browse the org files?

Thank you both!

Nice.

Or for a one-off solution:

M-x find-dired RET Documents/Org/ RET -iname "*.org" RET

And use the dired buffer to navigate.

HTH,
