See the variable org-archive-save-context-info. ,----[From 2.6.2 in the Manual] | When a subtree is moved, it receives a number of special properties | that record context information like the file from where the entry | came, it's outline path the archiving time etc. Configure the variable | org-archive-save-context-info to adjust the amount of information | added. `---- > Maybe we could create a GTD extension to org-mode?

Is there any document that explains it? In your view, what aspects of GTD are not yet possible within org-mode? It seems to me that org-mode offers the ability to implement everything in GTD (contexts, natural project planning, calendar, multiple views of the same data, etc). How exactly one implements GTD, of course, is up to the user. As a place to start customizing, I would recommend creating custom agenda commands. This tutorial offers some custom commands for use with GTD: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-custom-agenda-commands.php And, of course, there is Charles Cave's excellent tutorial on implementing GTD in org-mode: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/index.php Hope this helps, Matt
