- 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'.

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
|
|
|
|
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.

|
|
'("t" "Task" entry nil
|
|
"* TODO %? :%(desktop-registry-current-desktop \"\"):"))
