Sorry not quite sure how to phrase the problem in the subject line there. I have the following setup in my .emacs ...
(defvar org-dir "/home/mash/read/org/") And use it around such as ... (setq org-directory org-dir) (setq org-default-notes-file (concat org-dir "mash.org")) Now I understand that you can specify a directory such as ... (setq org-agenda-files '("/home/mash/read/org/")) But how would I do this with the variable? (setq org-agenda-files '(org-dir)) (setq org-agenda-files '(,(org-dir)) Any ideas as I would like to use it in my capture templates too ... (setq org-capture-templates '( ("t" "Test" entry (file+headline (concat org-dir "test.org" "test") "* %?") )) Many thanks, 'Mash
