Bug: org-agenda-skip-unavailable-files removes files instead of skipping [9.2.6 (9.2.6-5-g9c611f-elpaplus @ /home/ionasal/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20191111/)]

2019-11-12 Thread Allen Li
The docstring for org-agenda-skip-unavailable-files says: Non-nil means to just skip non-reachable files in ‘org-agenda-files’. A nil value means to remove them, after a query, from the list. However, doing a grep over the org mode code, the only place where this variable is checked is in org-age

2019-11-12 Thread Adam Porter
org-ql would make this pretty easy, I think. Use an org-ql query to select entries, and for the :action function, use a simple function that copies the entry or subtree and yanks it into a buffer. Then save that buffer to a file.

2019-11-12 Thread Nathan Neff
