Hello,
I have another problem which I fail on resolving.
Let's say I have a org file
--------------
#+FILETAGS: work
* Do something at work
* Do something at the internet :internet:
--------------
and another file:
--------------
* Do something at home :home:
* Do something at the internet :internet:
* Some other untagged task
--------------
I'd like to have two agenda views:
1. should show things I can do at work and internet and untagged tasks
2. should show things I can do at home and internet and untagged tasks
I fail with defining custom agenda views. I've browsed google and
already tried:
- org-agenda-filter-preset - but that seems not to support "or" (maybe
I'm missing something?)
- org-agenda-skip-function - which I found googling around - with regexp
like '(org-agenda-skip-subtree-if 'regexp ":work:")' - but that seems
not to support "inherited" tags.
I'm using latest git checkout org and emacs 23.3.1 on windows.
Thanks for any tip
Radek.

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("x" "Work and internet and untagged" tags "+work|+internet|-TAGS={.}")
("X" "Home and internet and untagged" tags "+home|+interent|-TAGS={.}")))
I am assuming that when you say "untagged", you mean items without local
tags. If you want inherited tags to be considered, use ALLTAGS instead.

The simplest solution is just to use a query/match (as above). The
variables org-agenda-filter-preset and org-agenda-skip-function are
meant primarily for agenda views, which are built around timestamps
rather than tags searches. When simply searching for tags, the tags
matcher is the best bet.
Note, you could accomplish the same thing with:
C-c a m "work|internet|-TAGS={.}"
See the following for more information:
- (info "(org) Tag searches")
- (info "(org) Matching tags and properties")

Which is exactly what I want - maybe I was not clear enough. I don't
want tags search. I want agenda view without entries with given tags (or
entries only with given tags).
Thanks,
Radek.
P.S. After not-so-much thinking "untagged" makes no sense anymore.

Could you please clarify what you mean by an agenda view. Do you mean
the daily/weekly agenda?
None of the examples you provided have timestamps, so they would not
show up in the *daily/weekly* agenda view unless you had
org-agenda-include-all-todo set to t.
Best,
Matt

Hi,
yes, I've simplified examples to the point which made no sense. I'm
very sorry.
All entries should have had some kind of timestamp, deadline or
schedule. Yes, I'd like daily/weekly agenda view filtered by tags.
Thanks for helping,
Radek.

No problem. Maybe the tags search examples I provided will prove useful
to someone else who stumbles across them. :)

Filtering allows for inherited tags but not for or logic. It's a quick
and simple way to include or exclude by tag. E.g., '("+work" "+internet")
will filter for items tagged work and internet.

The regexp argument of org-agenda-skip-subtree-if function, on the other
hand, allows for or logic but not for inherited tags. E.g.,
(org-agenda-skip-subtree-if 'notregexp ":\\(work\\|internet\\):")
...will find items tagged with work or internet, but only if they are
local.
I believe the only option is to write a skip function that uses
org-entry-get to get all the tags at point.
Here's an example:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun org-agenda-skip-entry-unless-tags (tags)
"Skip entries that do not contain specified tags.
TAGS is a list specifying which tags should be displayed.
Inherited tags will be considered."
(let ((subtree-end (save-excursion (org-end-of-subtree t)))
(atags (split-string (org-entry-get nil "ALLTAGS") ":")))
(if (catch 'match
(mapc (lambda (tag)
(when (member tag atags)
(throw 'match t)))
tags)
nil)
nil
subtree-end)))
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("x" "Work and internet" agenda ""
((org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-unless-tags '("work" "internet")))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Best,
Matt

I have this in my org-setup and use it to generate agenda views that
skip certain tags, whether that tag is local or inherited.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun mlm-skip-if-bill-pay()
"Skip entries that are Tagged Bill_Pay taking into account inheritance"
(let* ((entry-tags (org-get-tags-at (point))))
(if (member "Bill_Pay" entry-tags)
(progn (outline-next-heading) (point))
nil
)
)
)
#+end_src
And then the the custom agenda definiitions where I want to exclude
this, I have:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(org-agenda-skip-function 'mlm-skip-if-bill-pay)
#+end_src
