Hi,
I'm trying to use howm again - I have never gone very far using
it because I only feel comfortable when I keep my ideas in "named
files" rather than in "dated files", i.e., in files whose names
are like, say, "htmlizer", instead of like "2005-11-09.howm"...
What about this idea for a function?
It will be called, say, `howm-create-named-file', and bound to `N' in
howm-view-summary-mode and to `C-c , N' globally; when called
interactively it will ask for a filename in the minibuffer, like this:
(let ((default-directory "/tmp/"))
(call-interactively
(lambda (&rest)
(interactive "FHowm file name: "))))
and the default directory will be either `howm-directory' or, in
howm-view-summary-mode, the directory of the file at point, or, in
howm-view-contents-mode, the current directory... if the file already
exists it is visited, and if it doesn't exist yet it is created with
the adequate template...
I tried to create a function like that, but I got stuck and I figured
that it would be more fun to post a request to the list... :)
Cheers, and maybe thanks in advance, :)
