[Orgmode] org-capture-templates : should symbols work as a file target ?

[Julien Fantin]

Hi folks,

I'v been trying to setup an org-capture template using a symbol as the file target, but this raises an error.

Someone on IRC mentionned this is probably a bug, but I'm not experienced enough to be sure I'm not simply misusing it...

Here is the bit of config in question: 

* Files

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

(setq org-directory  (concat (getenv "HOME") "/org/"))

(setq organizer (concat org-directory "organizer.org"))

#+END_SRC

* Capture

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

(setq org-default-notes-files organizer)

#+END_SRC

** Templates

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

(setq org-capture-templates

       `(

        ("t" "Task" entry

         (file+headline  organizer "Tasks")

         "* TODO %?\n%U")

        ("j" "Journal" entry

         (file+datetree "~/org/journal.org")

         "* %?\nEntered on %U\n %i\n %a")

        ))

#+END_SRC

Which results in the following message when the first template is selected  after executing org-capture:

org-find-base-buffer-visiting: Wrong type argument: stringp, organizer

So is this actually a bug ?

If not, could anyone enlighten me as to how I could manage to reuse this 'organizer in the form ?

Cheers !
