I think that was Carsten's suggestion a bit back, but I'm not sure. I think I asked if it was just deleting as it channeled through the export function but didn't get a response. Looking back, though, I'm sure that's what it was and my question was probably a bit silly :) And yes, I have turned this off as I find adding :noexport: to ever todo in addition to whatever tags I already use to ID the project/task is annoying and ugly. I've toyed with simply having a * Tracking headline at the beginning of each file where I dump todos via capture and track time and then having that have a top level noexport tag to take care of things. That's pretty much nice, but I still like todos created during meeting minutes or in the context of some other project notes to stay where they make sense rather than separating them from their location and putting them elsewhere. So.... I've got some solutions but am not quite happy yet. I should re-visit Carsten's solution to strip it on export. That would probably be the ticket. I happen to hate how inline tasks look. That's just me, though! > > One advantage of this approach is that there might be a lot of > contexts in which you don't need the noexport tag. > John
