org-remember -- use a file On more than one occasion, I have composed something using org-remember, and mistakenly hit a key for killing the buffer. With all buffers except org-remember, this kills a buffer if it has no unsaved text, and asks what buffer to kill if it does, at which point I quit.
With org-remember, the buffer has unsaved text, but it is not associated with a file, so it loses text. Text is probably lost upon a crash also. My suggestion is this. Perhaps org-remember can have a file (this fixes the killing problem), and that file can be autosaved (this fixes the crash problem).[fn:4] There is one more case in which text is lost. You might run org-remember from org-remember and not undo. My existing proposal is to allow calling o-r from o-r. I think that solves it. In such a case, however, it will be necessary to allow more than one such file. [fn:4] In principle, if the target location is known, the file can be an indirect buffer into that buffer. This has other advantages, including having all in-buffer settings work, being able to isearch, having a crashed org-remember stay where it is supposed to be (albeit unfinished) and so on. But it wouldn't be necessary to get that fancy. Just any file would work. -- Myalgic encephalomyelitis denialism is causing death (decades early; Jason et al. 2006) and severe suffering (worse than nearly all other diseases studied; e.g. Schweitzer et al. 1995) and grossly corrupting science. http://www.meactionuk.org.uk/What_Is_ME_What_Is_CFS.htm _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
