Desktop registry
After reading this post I started using desktop.el as a simple project
file-like system. The only problem was that remembering which desktops
were where and switching between them is bothersome. This module tries
to fix that.
Installation
If you have Marmalade set up you can just use:
M-x package-install <RET> desktop-registry
Usage
You can use desktop-registry-prepend-directory to add a new
directory to the registry, or
desktop-registry-prepend-current-desktop to add the currently loaded
desktop to the registry. If you enable
desktop-registry-auto-register it will automatically add new desktop
files to the registry when you use desktop-save.
To switch between desktops you can use
desktop-registry-change-desktop, this will prompt (with completion)
for the directory you would like to load.
When you're done with a desktop or want to get rid of a desktop for
another reason you can use desktop-registry-remove-desktop.
If you've registered a desktop and you don't like what it made of
the name you can use desktop-registry-rename-desktop to give it a
new name.
With org-capture-templates
The desktop-registry-current-desktop can be used to insert the
currently loaded desktop into an org capture template.
(add-to-list 'org-capture-templates
'("t" "Task" entry nil
"* TODO %? :%(desktop-registry-current-desktop):"))
