Start Emacs with an empty init file and make the following customizations: - org-log-refile :: 'time - org-refile-targets :: (("/tmp/b.org" :maxlevel . 1)) - org-refile-use-outline-path :: 'file
Create an Org buffer named a.org with the following content: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- * My pets ** Rex Given to me by Theresa.[fn:1] * Footnotes [fn:1] A work colleague. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Create an Org file named /tmp/b.org with the following content: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- * Her pets --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- In buffer a.org, with point in Rex, type: C-c C-w b.org/Her pets/ <RET> M-x org-lint org-lint complains: 4 high No reference for footnote definition [fn:1] A similar problem occurs if the entry is archived with org-archive-subtree. I expected Org to automatically detect the footnote inconsistency, without me manually invoking org-lint. Even better would be to fix it, e.g. offer to move the footnote definition if there are no other references in the current buffer. Now move to the Footnotes section and refile it to b.org (top level). Then on b.org invoke M-x org-lint. It complains: 5 high Extraneous elements in footnote section I expected either org-refile to omit the timestamp when refiling the footnotes section (to placate org-lint) or org-lint not to complain about the timestamp.
