OK, so I can't figure out how to do this :-) First, how I'm using org-mode: Inside ~/working I have nested project directories; some for home and some for work; projects within projects within projects. Whenever I need a new PROJECTNAME.org, I create it wherever in the hierarchy it belongs, and then symlink it into the proper toplevel (which roughly corresponds to the start of a particular SVN or Git repository). This way, I have much smaller list of org-agenda-files to maintain. I have some custom agenda views defined, that tell me things like what I have to do today, and what to do in various contexts etc. For this I aggregate all of the .org files I've written. I don't want to go adding a :COLUMNS: property to every .org file that I want to include in a custom view; I'd rather define :COLUMNS: for "types" of views that I want. Where would I define this? I suppose that I could write definitions in "hidden" files that get explicitly sourced based on what view I want, but that seems roundabout... Thanks... and org-mode rocks! -- Christopher DeMarco IT Director MAYA Group +1-412-708-9660
