This doesn't seem to work :-/


Hi Christopher,

Seems I mistyped a variable name.  I just tested
the following, and it works for me:


   (setq org-agenda-custom-commands
         '(("p" "Projects" tags "+xxx|+xx|+x"
            ((org-agenda-overriding-columns-format "%20ITEM %DEADLINE")
             (org-agenda-view-columns-initially t)))))

This does work for me, at least to some extend.  There may still be issues
which have to do with local and global bindings, which I have
not been able to sort out.

I've cloned & installed from git -- org-version returns 6.16 and the
;;Version strings in the various .el being loaded by Emacs agree.

With the above in my .emacs, C-cax doesn't do anything different from
what I had before.  

FWIW, I don't actually have deadlines on most of my TODOs; I have
top-level headlines with deadlines and a custom tag indicating the
approx. effort required (I know that this is builtin elsewhere; I'm
tackling one problem at a time here :-) So my actual .emacs looks like
this:

   (setq org-agenda-custom-commands
         '(("p" "Projects" tags "+xxx|+xx|+x"
            ((org-agenda-overriding-columns-format "%20ITEM %DEADLINE")
             (org-agenda-start-view-columns-initially t)))))

Either way, the columns don't show upon entering that agenda view.
Manually running org-agenda-columns (which I presume is what
org-agenda-start-view-columns-initially does?) doesn't show anything
different from what I'd get without the
org-agenda-overriding-columns-format .

I haven't had this much fun with software not working in a long time
:-) It's a stark contrast to my time on the phone with Apple about bugs in
their server admin tools :-b
