[Orgmode] Re: [Patch] org-protocol default template should be nil

[Richard Riley]

I dont know if its related but something has broken the use of

,----
| org-default-notes-file is a variable defined in `org.el'.
| Its value is "refile.org"
| 
| Documentation:
| Default target for storing notes.
| Used as a fall back file for org-remember.el and org-capture.el, for
| templates that do not specify a target file.
`----

for me too. I tend not to specify a destination file in my templates and
instead refile at a later date (hence the variable above is set to refile.org).

Now I get a backtrace :-

,----
| Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Not enough arguments for format string")
|   format("^\\(\\*+\\)[        
]+\\(?:\\(TODO\\|STARTED\\|WAITING\\|DONE\\|CANCELLED\\|REPORT\\|BUG\\|KNOWNCAUSE\\|FIXED\\)\\>\\)?\\(?:[
       ]*\\(\\[#.\\]\\)\\)?\\(?:[      ]*\\(?:\\[[0-9%%/]+\\]\\)\\)?[  
]*\\(%s\\)\\(?:[        ]*\\(?:\\[[0-9%%/]+\\]\\)\\)?\\(?:[     
]+\\(:[[:alnum:address@hidden:]+:\\)\\)?[       ]*$" "Tasks To Refile")
|   org-capture-set-target-location()
|   org-capture(nil)
|   call-interactively(org-capture nil nil)
`----

As a side note it was a bit of a misnomer. Possibly the storage should
use a 'org-default-capture-file variable since "notes" have their own
distinct meaning.
