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 directory188.
The push operation also creates a special Org file agendas.org with all custom agenda view defined by the user189.
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 checksums190 have changed.
Symbolic links in org-directory need to have
the same name than their targets.
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.
Checksums are stored automatically in the file checksums.dat
