Subject: agenda restriction locks and searching all nodes quickly
Date: Fri, 5 Nov 2010 16:47:00 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTiki6ZOHTh41zHg+PrYQM9a-wcw90_N5N-cjYy3R@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Having trouble with setting a restriction lock and also with searching quickly.

Can somebody kindly respond to the questions in the comments below?


(defun alpha-org-agenda-parent-subtree ()
  "Show agenda for all tasks in subtree above point.  This means
all /siblings/ of point and everything beneath them.

If the region is active, operate only on the region.

You can get a fast sorted view with this command.  In this
example, the agenda will show tasks under my subtree.

  * top level 1 -- not shown
    * my subtree -- shown
      * TODO a
      * some other headline | (<- point is here)
        * TODO [#A] b
  * top level 2 -- not shown

If you sort by priority, b will sort above a.

This allows you to organize nodes hierarchically instead of
keeping things at the same level merely to allow sorting.

  (save-excursion

    (if (not (org-up-heading-safe))
        (message "top level is nyi")
      ;;is this the right way to do it?  i tried

      ;;
      ;;how do i make this work for the active region?
      (org-agenda-set-restriction-lock 'subtree)
      ;;is there a less kludgey way to specify all tasks in the restriction?
      ;;more importantly, what is the absolutely /fastest/ way?
      ;;
      ;;this seems to take forever even for a single node
      (org-search-view nil "{.}"))))

Thanks.
