I'm trying to learn to use =org-contact=, and wanted to have 2 files,
one for personal usage and another for work contact-list.
*Expected behavior* : when I do `M-x org-contacts`, I expect to see
all the contacts, and choose whichever I want to choose, and jump to
its position regardless if it's in work or personal file.
*Problem*: When I do `M-x org-contacts`, I see all the contacts.
- I can only jump to contacts inside the first file in
`org-contacts-files`.
- Choosing others entries (from 2nd file), shows warning `Cannot find
location`.
*Minimal Setup to re-produce*:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq package-archives
'(("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/"; )
("elpa" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/"; )
("nongnu" . "https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/"; )))
(package-initialize)
(setq use-package-always-ensure t)
(use-package org-contacts
:ensure t)
(setq org-contacts-files
'("/tmp/contacts-work.org" ;; ben & jon
"/tmp/contacts-personal.org")) ;; mom & dad
(org-contacts)
#+end_src
Contact file 1: =/tmp/contacts-work.org=
#+begin_src org
,* Ben
:PROPERTIES:
:EMAIL: t...@email.com
:END:
,* Jon
:PROPERTIES:
:EMAIL: j...@email.com
:END:
#+end_src
Contact file 2: =/tmp/contacts-personal.org=
#+begin_src org
,* Dad
:PROPERTIES:
:EMAIL: d...@email.com
:END:
,* Mom
:PROPERTIES:
:EMAIL: m...@email.com
:END:
#+end_src
I forgot to mention:
- org-contacs: 20241203.1941
Emacs : GNU Emacs 30.1 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
3.24.48, cairo version 1.18.2)
Package: Org mode version 9.7.11 (release_9.7.11 @
/usr/share/emacs/30.1/lisp/org/)
If I made some mistakes somewhere (for example understood the package
wrongly) I'm sorry for taking your time.
Thanks,
