Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it already and found that it is unfortunately
not recursive. I tend to make directories with projects under the active
directory, then put the org file and supporting files in the directory. E.g.
active/proj1/proj1.org
active/prof1/info.pdf
etc
What's nice about this is that my project notes, todos and support files are
close to each other. Also, I can simply use the dired listing of the active dir
as my "active projects list" in GTD parlance :)

I have indeed cooked up a hooky solution that should have hit the list by the
time you read this :)

Fantastic, thanks! Cheers Neilen
Re: [O] Recursive org-agenda-files
My understanding is that you want a file that gets moved into the
active directory to be automatically included in the agenda?
>From worg:
You can simply include the directory (as one of the items) in the
value of the variable org-agenda-files:
(setq org-agenda-files '("/my/special/path/org/active/"))
There is another way of accomplishing the same end:
(setq org-agenda-files (file-expand-wildcards
"/my/special/path/org/active/*.org"))
The other files/directories could be in the extended text search if
needed but not part of the automatic agenda. Just my two cents. Not
that playing with agenda hooks might have some advantages.

I'll leave that up to the interested reader :-) Or try C-h v org--hook RET to get a list of *all* the org hooks. Nick

I'll move a project file/dir from my "someday" folder to my "active" folder. I would like to avoid any further manual steps to get it integrated in my agenda. Is there a hook function that gets called every time an agenda view is opened or refreshed? I could probably use that to update the agenda list. Thanks Neilen

I tried this, but as far as I can tell it won't automatically see new files or directories as they are added, so I have to re-evaluate te setq every time I add new projects or files. Or am I wrong? Thanks Neilen
Re: [O] Recursive org-agenda-files
Hi Neilen,
I think you want these in your .emacs (from
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html, "Can I add files recursively to
my list of agenda files?"):
(load-library "find-lisp")
(setq org-agenda-files (find-lisp-find-files "~/org" "\.org$"))
Or you can add each project directory to org-agenda-files yourself,
however, this is not recursive, it only adds .org files under the
project directories, not their sub-directories (see docstring of
org-agenda-files: C-h v org-agenda-files):
(setq org-agenda-files '("~/org/projA" "~/org/projB" "~/org/projC"))
In my setup, I also use the following to exclude directory "exc" from the list:
(eval-when-compile (require 'cl))
(setq org-agenda-files
(remove-if '(lambda (x)
(string-match
(concat "^" (regexp-quote (expand-file-name
"~/org/exc/")))
x))
org-agenda-files))

[O] Recursive org-agenda-files
Hi, I like to have a directory per project, with an .org file in each directory. Is there a way to set org-agenda-files such that it can recursively scan my whole projects dir for all org files? Thanks Neilen
