Hello, notmuch-org!
I'm using org-mode to structure most of my life, but I haven't been able
to incorporate my list of PDFs (or other documents) to read/review in
org-mode, so currently I'm just putting them in ~/read-review.
However, I thought I'd use org-protocol and emacsclient to add links to
these files to org-mode, but I'm unable to figure out how to do it. I'd
like to map the full path to a file, and then have that file appended to
a plain list in a given org file with the TODO tag set (something like
»* TODO [[file:/path/to/filename.pdf]]«) given a run of »emacsclient
org-protocol:/capture:/r/path/to/filename.pdf/«.
I can then implement pushing to my read/review stack with a simple shell
command that a) moves the new file to ~/read-review and b) adds a link
to the file on my org-mode read/review stack using the above mentioned
emacsclient command.
So far, I've tried adding the following to org-capture-templates:
(r read/review entry (file ~/org/read-review.org)
* TODO read %c
:immediate-finish t)
Obviously »%c« wrong here -- but what should I replace it with?
C-h v org-capture-templates RET
...
The template defines the text to be inserted. Often this is an org-mode
entry (so the first line should start with a star) that will be filed as a
child of the target headline. It can also be freely formatted text.
Furthermore, the following %-escapes will be replaced with content:
...
%a annotation, normally the link created with `org-store-link'
...
So %a inserts the link.
However, for your function to work properly you need to percent escape
the slashes in /path/to/file as org capture uses the slash to separate
the different link components.
Percent escaping is the same es URL Encoding, e.g. there should be
something for your shell and/or preferred application to fire capture.
