org-archive-subtree archives a subtree. * A ** AA *** AAA ** AB *** ABA
Archiving AA will remove the subtree from the original file and create it like that in archive target: * AA ** AAA What I want (wish for) is to create it like that in the archive target: * A ** AA *** AAA If I also archive AB after that, it gets inserted in the structure which is now identical to the structure we started with. Use case: I tend to archive small pieces of a project's subtree long before I'm ready to archive the entire project. This way I build (want to build) an archived mirror of the project's subtree bit by bit. Thanks a lot to the org-mode developers.
