Hi,
I am a new user of org-mode; so far I am pretty
expressed...
I spread my todos into about 6 different main
categories, each in an own file. So far it works pretty
good, but I am kind of curious, when the lists get
bigger...
For the dayly use I have some questios:
- can I use different colors for the keywords TODO,
FEEDBACK, VERIFY, CANCEL and DONE in every buffer (agenda too)
- how can I sort the agenda todo list according to the
priority
- can I add priority 'd' to the list
- when you use the multiple file approach, do you use a
lot of tags, or is it more usefull for a single file
approach
- can somebody explain the 43 folder approach and how it
is used with org-mode
That's it for the moment :-) Maybe, somebody has some
ideas!?
Greetings!
Fabian

If you want it to ignore categories and sort by priority only, you need to configure `org-agenda-sorting-strategy' to something like this (this is the default setting, but with the part for the todo list modified): (setq org-agenda-sorting-strategy '((agenda time-up category-keep priority-down) (todo priority-down) (tags category-keep priority-down)) >> - can I add priority 'd' to the list Yes: (setq org-lowest-priority ?D) Try `M-x org-customize RET' to find out more about the many options. >> - when you use the multiple file approach, do you use a >> lot of tags, or is it more usefull for a single file >> approach This is a matter of taste, and different people use different approaches.
