I tried org-customize to add %CATEGORY to the front of the org-columns-default-format variable and saved it for current and future sessions. However, when I requested a column view in the weekly agenda, there was no additional column (nor was there any error message). ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Or > are you talking about column view in a buffer, this time around? I'm talking about the column view obtained from the weekly agenda. (i.e. do C-c a a, and then C-c C-x C-c in the resulting agenda buffer). I like that the category is in the weekly agenda, and would like it to appear in the column view as well. The reason for this is that I am using categories as Project titles, to provide context for TODO items. For example, I could have a category "Trip plan" with a TODO item "review costs". Without the "Trip plan" category, "review costs" is meaningless as it could be applicable to almost anything. I forgot whose tutorial gave me this category-use idea, but it seemed to be a good idea at the time. Of course, org-mode is so powerful there may be other ways of achieving the same goal. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
