Re: [O] Allowing multiple date trees in a single file

[Carsten Dominik]

Hi Nicolas,

ok, here is where I have gotten with this:

Attached is a patch that does the following:

It consolidates all four different org-capture target types that have to do with

date/week trees into a single one, called `file+olp+datetree'.  This target

allows for an optional outline path specification to tell capture to build the

datetree under a specific headline.  To switch to a week tree, or to force

a date prompt is now the matter of setting one of the properties in the

org-capture-template variable.

Everything works transparently, so users can update the way they

write their datetree captures, but they don't have to - the old syntax remains

supported and will automatically switched when one uses customize to change the variable.

After a bit more testing, I'd like to apply this patch.  Please let me know if you agree. And additional testers would be useful.  Anyone?  Make sure to backup your capture templates if something goes wrong.

Cheers

Carsten

It sounds less useful because we already have ways to identify uniquely
a heading.

It is nice, too. It would reduce the number of new capture target types
required.
