Org Mode-erists: I like the attachment facility of Org for organizing external files related to a project, but it seems to lack an obvious feature.
I use a separate org file for each major project, which in my case are law suits. I would like to have a custom attachment directory specified at the top of the file for all attachments related to the project, have it inherited by all headings, and be able to specify a custom directory for a heading relative to that file-wide attachment directory. I have tried this: #+PROPERTY: :ATTACH_DIR_INHERIT: t #+PROPERTY: :ATTACH_DIR: ~/cases/Client Name/Case Name/ but it does not work. When I C-c C-a f to open up the attachment directory on a headline, it gives me an ID-based directory in the data directory instead of the file-wide default. Also, when I C-c C-a s to set a custom attachment directory, it defaults to my org directory. Using the data directory would be fine if I only wanted to access files through Org Mode (and perhaps I should), but I occassionaly have to open a file from outside emacs (say, a spreadsheet from excel on a Windows machine) and finding the file in the ID-based heirarchy is tough. How hard would this be to implement? With this, I can thing of my org-mode file as a kind of annotated dired for a project. Regards, -- ==================================================== Daniel E.
