I would like to specify in an .org file, the filename of its archive file.
Something like myarchivefile.org
I would like the archive file to be in the same directory as my .org file.
The page: 16.7 Summary of In-Buffer Settings
https://orgmode.org/manual/In_002dbuffer-Settings.html
has:
‘#+ARCHIVE: %s_done’
as an example. Even though this is not what I want, I put this code in my .org file (without quotation marks) and it gave an error - invalid location.
Plus this page does not explain what %s_done means.
I have searched and searched and found nothing helpful. I have tried different things to no avail.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks ahead of time.
You can set archive location globally customizing variable org-archive-location or locally, as in the manual page you referred to. However, the example from manual is actually not correct (already fixed). You should use ‘#+ARCHIVE: %s_done::’.
The information about format used to set archive location is described in org-archive-location variable docstring. You can find it using <F1> v org-archive-location <RET> or from menu Help->Describe->Describe variable... org-archive-location <RET>. In general, you can find detailed information about any Emacs variable using the described procedure.
