Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode Hi all, I found the problem. I used "org-agenda-directory" instead of org-agenda-files. Not recognising that this variable doesn't seem to exist (did it ever exist?) I assumed I can use it to indicate the org files folder. With org-agenda-files everything works perfectly. I now have about 48 custom commands (partly of course hierarchical) and with dynamically changing the set of org files I really feel I have control over my todos! I am very happy with org! Thank you both! Rainer ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode

So, maybe something like this in your configuration will work: (defun rs-reset-agenda-files () "Set org-agenda-files to my default values" (interactive) (setq org-agenda-files ; the following are examples, of course (quote ("~/org/PUBLIK/work1.org" "~/org/PUBLIK/work2.org" "~/org/PUBLIK/work3.org" (add-hook 'org-finalize-agenda-hook 'rs-reset-agenda-files) What I think might then happen is that, after you run agenda custom command kP, the variable org-agenda-files will be reset to the default value. Maybe? Dan -- -- Dan Griswold Rochester, NY -- ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
