- desktop-registry.el (desktop-registry-add-directory): Add an optional NAME parameter which will be asked for (in an interactive context) when the universal argument is used. Print a message if the specified directory has already been registered, signal an error when the (given or generated) name has already been used and only add the directory if neither of these conditions occur. (desktop-registry-add-current-desktop): Add optional NAME parameter which will be asked for (in an interactive context) when the universal argument is used and pass it on to `desktop-registry-add-directory'. |

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
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.
Adding new desktops
You can use desktop-registry-add-directory to add a new directory
to the registry, or desktop-registry-add-current-desktop to add the
currently loaded desktop to the registry. With either of these
function you can use the universal argument (C-u) to specify a
name for the desktop as well.
If you enable desktop-registry-auto-register it will automatically
add new desktop files to the registry when you use desktop-save.
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 \"\"):"))
