Sinder 0 siblings, 2 replies; 7+ messages in thread From: nielsgiesen @ 2006-06-14 7:52 UTC (permalink / raw) To: emacs-orgmode How about a function org-archive-done, that archives any tree in the buffer labelled DONE? One might refine this to archive trees absolutely done, so that---even when a heading is labelled DONE---it looks to its subtrees to check whether they have no label which states the opposite. Also, I think it only nice/useful for top-level headings, not below. Perhaps an optional argument could be given as to the time elapsed since a tree was DONE.

In other words, I'd like to prune any chosen tree to archive DONE items under it. Perhaps an example is best... --- .org file before archiving --- * Tasks ** TODO Task 1 ** DONE Task 2 ** TODO Project A *** TODO Task A1 *** DONE Task A2 ** DONE Project B *** DONE Task B1 *** DONE Task B2 --- .org file after archive of top-level tree --- * Tasks ** TODO Task 1 ** TODO Project A *** TODO Task A1 *** DONE Task A2 --- _archive file after archive of top-level tree --- * Tasks ** DONE Task 2 ** DONE Project B *** DONE Task B1 *** DONE Task B2 Dan ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

I really like it. It would mean that subitems that are done remain in place, but don't use space on the screen. I am not sure if I like the term "archiving" for this. "Locking" seems to be better. The implementation could for example be TAG based: All subtrees with a TAG :LOCKED: will never open when attacked with TAB (visibility cycling). This can be done using org-cycle-hook. Proof of concept: (defvar org-locked-subtrees t "Non-nil means, allow locked subtrees.") (defun org-hide-locked-subtrees (state) "Re-hide all locked subtrees after a visibility state change." (interactive) (when (and org-locked-subtrees (not (memq state '(overview folded)))) (save-excursion (let* ((globalp (memq state '(contents all))) (beg (if globalp (point-min) (point))) (end (if globalp (point-max) (org-end-of-subtree) (point)))) (goto-char beg) (while (re-search-forward ":LOCKED:" nil t) (and (org-on-heading-p) (hide-subtree)) (org-end-of-subtree)))))) (add-hook 'org-cycle-hook 'org-hide-locked-subtrees 'append) Then all that is needed is - an easy way to toggle org-locked-subtrees (to allow looking at locked trees occasionally) - and easy way to toggle the LOCKED tag - An automatic locker that goes through the subitems of a given level N heading, locking all subtrees that do not have any open TODO items. This is great. I'll do something like this. Thanks. - Carsten > P.S. Thank you very much for org mode.

"Locking" seems to be better. I'm glad you like this (and that it seems straightforward to implement). My only questions is this: If locking is an alternative (not replacement) to archiving, will locked items also be kept out of agendas and exports, like when archiving? My vote would be "yes".

OK, good point, this needs a bit more thinking. Which shifts it past the 4.38 release.
