B.2 Pushing to MobileOrg
========================
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 directory(1).
The push operation also creates a special Org file ‘agendas.org’ with
all custom agenda view defined by the user(2).
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 checksums(3) have
changed.
---------- Footnotes ----------
(1) Symbolic links in ‘org-directory’ need to have the same name than
their targets.
(2) 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.
(3) Checksums are stored automatically in the file ‘checksums.dat’
