This is what the variable org-overriding-column-format is for. You must not set this in a normal way, but only as an option for an agenda command, for example (setq org-agenda-custom-commands '(("x" "With deadline columns" alltodo "" ((org-agenda-overriding-columns-format "%20ITEM %DEADLINE") (org-agenda-start-view-columns-initially t))))) This will define the "x" as an agenda dispatcher custom key, creating an agenda view, defining a special columns format, and immediately turning on column view. Hmmm, at least this was *supposed* to work this way, but I see now that there is a little bug. You need to get the latest git release (or release 6.15c) for this to work correctly.... - Carsten On Dec 16, 2008, at 4:12 AM, Christopher DeMarco wrote: > On Tue, Dec 09, 2008 at 08:17:38AM +0100, Carsten Dominik wrote: > >> you may want to take a look at column view, which can show the >> deadline. >> Get back here when you cannot figure out how to do this. > > 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.
