Hello! It seems that org-use-tag-inheritance set to regexp, the use of #+FILETAGS: and org-todo-list do not work together. It seems, that a regexp in org-use-tag-inheritance matching a tag set in #+FILETAGS causes this error: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil) string-match("^ +" nil) org-format-agenda-item("" nil "org_filetag" ("tea" "test")) byte-code("Æ ÇŽÈ ˆ`ŠÉ ˆ`)Ê\n!ƒ( Tbˆ „#ËÌ!ˆÍÎÏ\"ˆ* bˆÐ ˆÑ”bˆÒӔ!Ô Õ`!#Ö×ØÑ! #$$Ù$!TÚ \"Û$%Ü\fÝ\fÞß àáâ\"&ˆ$&B& ƒ~ѕbˆ‚‚ËÌ!ˆÏ‡" [save-match-data-internal beg end org-agenda-todo-list-sublevels marker category match-data ((byte-code "ÁÂ\"‡" [save-match-data-internal set-match-data evaporate] 3)) beginning-of-line outline-next-heading org-agenda-check-for-timestamp-as-reason-to-ignore-todo-item org-end-of-subtree invisible throw :skip nil org-agenda-skip 1 org-agenda-new-marker 0 org-get-category org-get-tags-at org-format-agenda-item "" match-string org-get-priority org-get-todo-state org-add-props org-marker org-hd-marker priority org-category type "todo" todo-state tags txt props ee] 15) org-agenda-get-todos() org-agenda-get-day-entries("~/org_filetag.org" (3 24 2009) :todo) byte-code("Ä!ˆÅ Æ#Ç \n\"ć" [file date rtn rtnall org-check-agenda-file org-agenda-get-day-entries :todo append] 4) org-todo-list(nil) call-interactively(org-todo-list) execute-extended-command(nil) call-interactively(execute-extended-command) when org-use-tag-inheritance is set to regexp "te" with this file: -------- #+STARTUP: #+FILETAGS: tea * TODO testing :test: ** TODO too :data: ----- When the regexp is "tes", so that the FILETAG does not match, org-todo-list produces a correct list.
