[Howm-eng 61] Removing old notes

[hugows]

Hi again.

As I was quickly looking through notes using n-p (after a howm-list-all), I
wished that I could remove unwanted notes/files with a simple 'd'.
I haven't found anything related to delete.
Since this should be quite an easy thing to implement, the real question is:
why it doesn't exist ? Is it against howm's way (of letting old things sink,
etc) ?

Thanks in advance,
Hugo

Some users required "delete", "copy", and "move" with a "mark and
execute" style interface.  Then I implemented a command to pass the
current list to Dired-X.  Type X on a list buffer (*howmS* or *howmC*)
to call Dired-X.

This may make you slightly happy.
  (setq howm-view-dired-keep-cursor t)
It will be set by default from the next version.

In addition, you can call a shell command by typing ! on the list
buffer.  You can customize its default histories as below.
  (setq howm-view-summary-shell-last-file "FILE")
  (setq howm-view-summary-shell-hist '("ls -l FILE" "FILE"))

Nicely done. Out of curiosity, will this approach work with "one
day per file" model -ie. several notes per file ? If so, how did
you do ?

Dired-X treats it as a long single file.  There is no special way
to delete an individual note in "one day per file" style.  Please edit
such notes by hand.

In howm-mode, "C-c , N" ("C-c , P") moves the cursor to the next
(previous) note.

Damn it ! So I will have to fallback to the default
howm-file-name-format since I am producing something like, 20
notes a day... :)

Thank you.
