Moin,
I'm using a simple skip-function to exclude todos from a list.
(defun my-skip-someday-and-scheduled ()
""
(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'scheduled 'regexp ":SOMEDAY:"))
That works when the tag was assigned to an entry but not when it was
inherited from a parent. How do I get all tags for an entry?
Many thanks
Matthias

I have been using the same approach with the same limitations. I
stumbled upon the "tags filter preset", which supposedly should filter
out headlines with a specific tag set.
I tried to set it to "-maybe" but it did not seem to have an effect with
the default "Agenda" type. Is this supposed to work?
Maybe this can help in your case:
For custom "Tags search" agenda entries I directly inline all relevant
tag queries like so:
TODO="INBOX"-maybe|TODO="WAIT"-maybe+SCHEDULED<="<today>"|TODO="TICK"-maybe+SCHEDULED<="<today>"
Cheers,
Martin

Did you set the variable as a list?
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("x" "No maybe" todo ""
((org-agenda-filter-preset '("-maybe"))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
BTW, I believe one solution to the original question is:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("x" "No scheduled or someday" todo ""
((org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled t)
(org-agenda-filter-preset '("-SOMEDAY"))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Matt

Hi All,
I finally found some hours to walk through the code.

Thanks for your suggestion Matt.
I now think the problem is that I have a multi-agenda.
org-finalize-agenda is called for each subagenda here but the branch
where org-agenda-filter-apply would be called is never taken as it is
scoped with "unless org-agenda-multi". I have also found no other
non-interactive trigger for org-agenda-filter-apply.
I see two possible solutions here:
* Run org-agenda-filter-apply on a narrowed agenda buffer (only for
the sub-agenda). In fact, the agenda buffer seems to be narrowed
down at this point already. This would be the perfect solution as
each sub-agenda could install its own org-agenda-filter-preset.
Find attached a patch which achieves this. It seems to work well for
my short tests.
* Run org-agenda-filter-apply once for the whole buffer with a global
org-agenda-filter-preset. This would be mostly ok for some use cases
(I only want to globally remove all "maybe" entries, including the
inherited ones).
Cheers,
Martin

May I inquire the state of this item?
The patch seems to have vanished from the default view in patchwork it
is only shown here:
http://patchwork.newartisans.com/project/org-mode/list/?archive=both
But it is still "Under Review" by you.
Do you need assistance with the patch?
Cheers,
Martin

Sorry for taking so much time for this.
I am still holding the patch because I have an almost unconscious itch
that something is wrong with it. I cannot say what exactly it is
(if anything). The logic of what needs to be done when in
block agendas has some reason. One of the things I can say already
it that with such a local filter, I am afraid that updating the
agenda, or modifying the filter might fail or lead to strange results.
This is actually something you might want to work on testing.
I will only be able to study this more closely after the release.
Sorry

Hard to respond to this vague situation :-).
It would be great if you could point me at more specific situations that
might break or if others could test the patch. I have been using it for
more than a month now without problems.
> I will only be able to study this more closely after the release.
Take your time, I will wait for more details to emerge or feedback from
other testers.
One more note here: The current situation for block agendas is a bit
problematic as their limitations are not documented afaik.
Writing custom agendas is not easy in itself. If things don't work, it
is really hard to distinguish between driver errors and limitations of
the block agendas.
Cheers,
Martin

The specific one I meant is if you use r or g to rebuild the agenda,
if you do something like a refile command which does an automatic
rebuild,
do you get back the view you expected?
Also, if you apply other filter commands, either with "/", or narrowing
the filter with "/", does that give the expected results while you are
in your block agenda?

Yes, I regularly use 'r'. It works for me. Refiling a single entry did
not show a problem.

I quickly applied a tag filter using '/' 'tab'. Only the relevant
entries were shown. Some block agendas become empty as expected.
Clearing the filter restores the expected full view.
I am not entirely sure that the patch does not have problems though.
Matt: could you give the patch a quick test at your end?

* Well, the best thing to do would be to remove the limitations of the
block agendas, obviously :-), which I hope this patch does.
* The second best thing is to document them.
I am aware of this tag filter limitation, but no others from the top of
my head. Do others know more?

Hi Martin,
I just looked at your patch.
If I have a normal agenda (i.e. *not* a block agenda), then your
patch will cause the preset filter *not* to be applied.

OK, that was obviously incorrect, sorry about that.
However, it still does not work correctly, here is the counter example:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* TODO test 1 :a:
* TODO test 2 :b:
* at 1 :a:
SCHEDULED: <2010-07-22 Thu>
* at 1 :b:
SCHEDULED: <2010-07-22 Thu>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With this custom command:
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("x" "testmartin"
((agenda "" ((org-agenda-filter-preset '("+a"))))
(alltodo "" ((org-agenda-filter-preset '("+b")))))
nil nil)))
the result is incorrect, both with and without your patch.
The internal logic of the filter and the preset filter is such that
it applies to the entire view, and you should not set in the local
options for a command that is part of a block agenda view.
I have now documented this limitation.
Sorry that this took so long - thank you for your patience.
Best wishes

Here is what I found to be incorrect.
* For unmodified org-mode, this ignores the org-agenda-filter-preset.
Is this what you mean or is anything else broken?
* For my patched version, too much is hidden and only revealed after
clearing the global filter. Did you mean anything else?

But in different ways, as state above.

Well, it is already partly there in that local filters are stored in
text properties for each line. Maybe we can extend this a bit to remove
this limitation?
I will look into it if I have more time.

Yes, in different ways.

I think this will be tidious. For block agendas, I guess a skip
condition will be better than filtering.

Yes, I saw this on my first attempts to look at the code :-). I have
not yet given up on this though ...

This does not help with inherited tags, AFAIK. For example, if I mark a
whole tree of things with :maybe:, the inheriting items in the tree
cannot easily be skipped.

Martin

Easily yes, cheaply no.
You can call `org-get-tags-at' to get either only
local tags or both local and inherited tags.
Also, when an item is listed in the agenda, it has a text
property mentioning all tags. You can also write your own hook function
to run through the agenda and remove certain lines (just delete them)
based on the text properties each item has.
