Subject: merging column view headings across files
Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2010 18:21:37 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <54D31223-8642-4118-82F6-170AE39AD0BE@ualberta.ca> (raw)

Greetings all,

I have column view configured differently in several different org files. In some the columns include things like priority and tags, another file has columns like blocker and so on. When I do an agenda search for special todo keywords (in particular "STALLED") the search returns those dreaded stalled projects, which of course include some things from each org file.  If I switch to column view, it seems to use the column definitions in place for the first thing on the list. So, if a todo.org item is the first thing on the list the column headings are those defined in the todo.org file. However, there are things from project specific files (where i use the "BLOCKER" property to keep track of what's connected to what), and the column view heading for "BLOCKER" does not appear.

Anyone have any bright ideas on how I can keep separate column view definitions in each org file but have them some how magically combined in column-view look at my agenda?

Cheers,
Neil
