Hi Jan, thanks a lot for your description. I've actually been using a similar setup of one big and unstructured reference/snippet file and a script for scanning paper documents away without spending too much time thinking about where to put the resulting files. The problem was that the scanned documents were accumulating in a scan-inbox directory, waiting to be filled into a file hierarchy... too much overhead for little additional gain when digging for reference documents again.
Your setup seems to fill the gap between reference paper and org-mode, so I'm happy you shared it. =) One tiny remark to your defcustom declaration: (defcustom jb/filing-attachment-dir nil "The directory in which individual attachment dirs are created." :type 'string) resulted in an error message (custom-variable-mark-to-save: Symbol's value as variable is void: nilasdf) when trying to save the customize buffer. Customize was trying to save this value to ~/.emacs without "" around it. Using "" instead of nil in the declaration fixed this for me. 'C-c r p' also behaves a bit odd as long as jb/filing-attachment-dir isn't initialized yet, but I don't care.
