setting up a new default directory

[OrionRandD]

Hi, Prot,

I've tried to set a new default directory up for denote files,
But, none of these works... ´

;; (setq denote-directory (expand-file-name "~/org/deft-notes"));;
;; (setq denote-directory "~/org/deft-notes");;

denote keeps saving files inside

~/Documents/notes ~

for the time being, I've created a soft symlink from ~/org/deft-notes to
~/Documents/notes

But, I really would like to set the denote-directory variable properly without recurring to soft symlink... (setq denote-directory (expand-file-name "~/org/deft-notes"));;

;; (setq denote-directory "~/org/deft-notes");;

Hello there!

I've tried to set a new default directory up for denote files, But, none of these works... ´ ;; (setq denote-directory (expand-file-name "~/org/deft-notes"));; ;; (setq denote-directory "~/org/deft-notes");; [... 12 lines elided]

I cannot reproduce this problem. I started Emacs with 'emacs -Q' on the command line, then evaluated the following code: (require 'package) (package-initialize) (require 'denote) (setq denote-directory (expand-file-name "/tmp/")) I then did 'M-x denote' which created a new file in the directory I had specified.
