By default, org-attach.el names project folders, using a UUID scheme, which is paired with headlines in org-mode, via the :PROPERTIES:
drawer.
I would love to find a way to make this directory structure human readable, so that it can be accessed outside of org-mode (e.g., folder names are matched to headline names). So this outline structure:
* This headline
** This sub-headline 1
** This sub-headline 2
* This second headline
matches to the directory structure:
- This headline
- This sub-headline 1
- This sub-headline 2
- This second headline
Obviously, this presents an issue, should either of these get renamed. But maybe there is another way to get this done with UUIDs? Some possibilities:
Match a UUID in the
:PROPERTIES:
drawer to a UUID in the folder's metadata (Spotlight comments on the Mac come to mind)Create a second folder structure via sim-links, that updates when
org-attach-sync
is called.
Any thoughts, ideas?
Thanks!

wiil respect each entry'sATTACH_DIR
property. Of course you'd have to add that property yourself. – rpluim Jul 30 '18 at 14:50
