Next: Pulling from MobileOrg, Previous: Setting up the staging area, Up: MobileOrg [Contents][Index]
This operation copies all files currently listed in org-mobile-files
to the directory org-mobile-directory. By default this list contains
all agenda files (as listed in org-agenda-files), but additional files
can be included by customizing org-mobile-files. File names will be
staged with paths relative to org-directory, so all files should be
inside this directory188.
The push operation also creates a special Org file agendas.org with all custom agenda view defined by the user189.
Finally, Org writes the file index.org, containing links to all other files. MobileOrg first reads this file from the server, and then downloads all agendas and Org files listed in it. To speed up the download, MobileOrg will only read files whose checksums190 have changed.
Symbolic links in org-directory need to
have the same name than their targets.
While creating the
agendas, Org mode will force ID properties on all referenced entries, so that
these entries can be uniquely identified if MobileOrg flags them for
further action. If you do not want to get these properties in so many
entries, you can set the variable org-mobile-force-id-on-agenda-items
to nil. Org mode will then rely on outline paths, in the hope that
these will be unique enough.
Checksums are stored automatically in the file checksums.dat
