It works quite well, then if you remove some files the next time you see the agenda it will just ask you if you want to remove them from the agenda as well, fairly simple then.

I finally started to use more smartly the agenda and also the template for remember mode. Now is much better thanks. I also have a hook to automatically add new org-files to the agenda, in this way I don't forget anything. Now there are 53 files in the agenda, and I guess it will become slow, I'll have to find smarter solutions... Thanks ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

A quick question: Are you using the agenda? IMO, the number of org files you use doesn't really matter, since the agenda will gather the relevant information from all of them and since you can jump directly from the agenda to the corresponding point in your files. I'd also recommend using org-refile to move things from one file and/or headline to another. Similarly, the agenda search commands make it very easy to find data in your files. As a point of comparison, I have 21 files contributing to my agenda at the moment. You might want to consult the following tips on Worg: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-glossary.php#sec-3.3 http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php#how-to-organize-org-mode-files Hope this helps.
