Hello:

Is it possible to have the tags (minus the colons) as a comma separated
list for the "Categories" field in icalendar export? I usually have a
GTD context as the first tag. This will allow me to see them as separate
lists on my pilot.

Thanks.

Charles

That would be possible, however, I think this is not a stable  
feature.  How can you make sure the the corresponding tag is always  
the first in your list of tags?

For those syncing with a Palm device, it is up to us to make sure the
first tag is the category we want. The first tag thing is only a Pilot
limitation since Palm's brain dead apps only allows one category per
record (thus Kpilot, and I believe Gnome Pilot, only syncs the first
category). For programs that can understand icalendar directly (and have
multi-categories support) or can sync multi-categories, the categories
can be used as filters for different lists.

If I have a ree like this:

* one									:a:b:
** two									:c:d:
*** three 								:e:f:

then the "three" heading has the tags a,b,e,d,e,f

Which one should be first in the categories?  "e"?  or "a"?

Hi Charles,

your requested behavior is now the default.  iCalendar export lists as  
categories all tags defined locally in the current line, and the file/ 
tree category.  If you want to include the TODO state or inherited  
tags as well, configure the variable `org-icalendar-categories'.

Hope this helps.

- Carsten
