Or is file name used as a more general category when no specific category is put it? Which is another cloudy issue for me - file name and category. e.g I have a file "linux.org". In it I have a category "General". But in the agenda this is not specific enough e,g I will see another General item from "Emacs" category "General". possibly all down to reformatting the output. I'm not sure I am clear about what categories are.
