;; MobileOrg on iPad using Dropbox
;;
;; Settings basically copied from the screen cast, they differ
;; on the `org-mobile-inbox-for-pull` var wrt. the instructions
;; on the website.
;; - If MobileOrg is already linked to Dropbox. Unlink and delete
;; the ~/Dropbox/MobileOrg folder.
;; - Link MobileOrg with Dropbox. (Will create MobileOrg folder)
;; - Setup mobile-org-vars as below (alter as needed):
;; Set to the location of your Org files on your local system
(setq org-directory "~/org")
;; Set to <your Dropbox root directory>/MobileOrg.
(setq org-mobile-directory "~/Dropbox/MobileOrg")
;; Set to the name of the file where new notes will be stored
(setq org-mobile-inbox-for-pull "~/Dropbox/inbox.org")
;; - [!!] add the .org file to the agenda! [This is _likely_
;; the crucial step]
;; Execute M-x org-agenda-file-to-front on the buffer with the .org file that
;; is supposed to be synced. By default the agenda file list is
;; empty, hence no files get synced and MobileOrg is confused!
;; - With all that in place, M-x org-mobile-push should finally
;; copy the .org file[s] from the agenda over. Dropbox will
;; detect the file changes and sync.
;; - MobileOrg should now sync hassle free.
