If you press "T", you should see all the tags of an entry. I just tested it, and it works fine, including filtering, which acts on the text-property tags, not only on the displayed tags. Maybe you have turned off tag inheritance? Because file tags are *inherited* by all entries in the buffer.

No property seems to be added to any item, including top-level ones. When is the property added and what is the name of the property that is added?

This works for me. I added #+FILETAGS: :Personal: to the top of one of my org files, hit C-c C-c on the line to reinitialize and then match tags with Personal as the target with C-c a m Personal RET and it lists all of the tasks in my org file including top-level tasks. The tasks do now show :Personal: in the display but using T on any tasks shows the tag is inherited. I hit T on a task 4 levels deep and it includes the Personal tag.

It works this way for me as well. I guess I should be able to mimic similar behaviour by restricting agenda to that specific buffer as well.

Yes this works for me. / TAB <tagname> works even if tagname is not in org-tag-alist. Some of my (new) FILETAGS are still in my org-tag-alist so I can just filter with the quick-keys but for the ones that are not the / TAB <tagname> works fine. I tested this with C-a a t to show all my todo keyword tasks without scheduled dates and then used / to filter that list down to some specific FILETAG tagname. -Bernt ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 14+ messages in thread

Finally, agenda filtering on tags works for me. Unfortunately, I am not sure if it was an update, tweak or some other tinkering that fixed it but it works beautifully. It is now one of my favourite features. I did not expect but was pleasently surprised to find that it allowed filtering an already filtered view. Carsten also fixed tab completion of tags. Sweet. Will it be possible/useful to add some kind of indication to modeline showing that filtering is in effect and the filters applied (may be like "(Org Agenda Day Diary Filtered: P, t)")?

You said that you can filter an already filtered view. This is only partially correct. If you do that, it is not so that you will further filter down the current list. Instead, a new filter will be applied to the original list. At first I had it in fact implemented in a way that several filters could be used in a row, but John Wiegley (how asked for this feature) convinced me that the current convention is better. What this feature really does is saving you the definition of different agenda commands selecting for specific tasks. Instead, you can now create one view and then filter it for different tags. We could implement filtering for several tags, but I am not sure if this will be really so useful. - Carsten On Oct 18, 2008, at 1:46 PM, Manish wrote: > On Sun, Oct 12, 2008 at 12:43 AM, Bernt Hansen wrote: >> Manish writes: >> >>> On Thu, Oct 9, 2008 at 8:43 PM, Bernt Hansen wrote: >>> [snip] >>>> This works for me.

I kind of like the ability to zero-in on the kind of things you can do at the moment based on repeated filtering (say, first select your location.. home, work etc., then the kind of task you can do.. email, phone, etc. If only I could filter that fast on the effort too.. ) I guess what I am trying to request is if this (repeated filtering) can be a configurable behaviour? -- Manish ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 14+ messages in thread

This would be useful to limit the report to a specific project that spans multiple org files for instance. Right now I do a monthly agenda report for everything and cut and paste the result to get the details I need for a particular project - if I could just limit the display to a specific tag and have the report only include clock times for that tag then this would be much easier for me to deal with. e.g. | Key | Detail | |------------------+---------------------------------------| | C-c a a | Go to agenda | | m | Display agenda for this month | | R | Display clock report for everything | | / TAB projecttag | Limit display to specific project tag | and have the resulting clock report only include the filtered tasks and their clock times. I would find this very useful but don't let me create new work for you if it's not easy/fun :) Thanks for org-mode!
