Ah, no - you don't get off that easily! This is not "implementing" anything. He is asking about your expectations: "If I have a list item here and I do an org-refile with such and such arguments in a file that looks like so and so, I expect it to do such and such. Instead it did this and that, which was rather surprising. OTOH, if the list item is *there*..." etc. etc. I haven't read the thread (apologies) but ISTR you provided such a description to begin with. What Nicolas is asking is: what should happen in other cases of interest? You may want to cover just that one special case, but an implementation has to worry about *all* cases[fn:1]: otherwise, there *will* be bug reports in the very near future and guess who their target will be (hint: it won't be you :-) ) Hope-your-sense-of-humor-is-working-today-ly yours, Nick Footnotes: [fn:1] It might punt of course: cover the special case only and raise an error in all other cases e.g., but that's not particularly appealing.
