Hello,
The following patch adds ‘org-archive-finalize-hook’, which runs earlier than
‘org-archive-hook’ and in the destination buffer, not the original file. This
allows the context to be extended, the archived entry to be cleaned up after
inseration, maybe even encrypted or hashed to prevent changes.
I also added a new ‘ARCHIVE_OLID’ context type, which preserves the ID of the
parent the archived entry was previously under. This is because ARCHIVE_OLPATH
is not stable: it’s very possible the tree structure may change over time and
invalidate the path. But as long as the original parent is not deleted, there
stands a better chance that the original context of the archived entry can be
restored.
John
