I think I knew about org-directory from looking into something with org-read-agenda-file-list, which is another place it is used. Until recently, org-directory's docstring was stale for a long time and nobody noticed, so I'm guessing few people use the variable. I've updated org-capture-templates and the capturing section of the manual to mention org-directory. -- Kyle

Thank you very much! That did it and let me run my "sandbox" org
capture demonstration nicely.
So I can fish for myself next time, did you happen to just know this
relationship, or search the manuals for "capture"? I took a look at
the templates manual page and simply say file+headline used, though
with an absolute path.

In any case, thanks again for the tip.

The variable org-directory affects this:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
Documentation:
Directory with Org files.
This is just a default location to look for Org files. There is no need
at all to put your files into this directory. It is used in the
following situations:
1. When a capture template specifies a target file that is not an
absolute path. The path will then be interpreted relative to
‘org-directory’
2. When the value of variable ‘org-agenda-files’ is a single file, any
relative paths in this file will be taken as relative to
‘org-directory’.

[O] Default location for "./" with respect to capture file+headline
Greetings,
I'm trying to show an Org-mode demo within a folder for a talk. I
can't show my actual work stuff as it's confidential, so I'm trying to
create a self-contained org directory.
I have a dir with a setup like so:
dir/
dir/setup/example-config
dir/libs/{org-mode, ESS, others}
dir/demo/demo-file.org
I'm loading emacs like this (after cd-ing to dir)
emacs -q -l setup/example-config
It's loading org-mode from the ./libs directory (vs. ~/.elisp) and the
first line is:
(cd "/path/to/dir/")
When I do =C-c c= to try a capture example, it's trying to file it
with respect to ~/org and I'm not sure why. Here's the capture section
of dir/setup/example-config:
(setq org-capture-templates
'(("l" "log" entry (file+headline "./demo/org-demo_capture.org" "Log")
"* %? \n%u " :clock-in t :clock-resume t)
("t" "task" entry (file+headline "./demo/org-demo_article.org" "Tasks")
"* todo %? %^g\n%u" :prepend t)
("c" "clock" entry (file+datetree "./demo/org-demo_clocking.org")
"* %?\n%u" :clock-in t :clock-keep t)))
The capture buffer wants to create the directory ~/org/demo.
Thanks for any pointers!
John
