#+TITLE: Desktop registry
#+STARTUP: showall
After reading [[https://ericjmritz.wordpress.com/2013/05/28/emacs-desktops/][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 [[http://marmalade-repo.org/][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=.
** With org-capture-templates
The =desktop-registry-current-desktop= can be used to insert the
currently loaded desktop into an org capture template.
