* Highlighting Sparse Tree Leaves @ 2008-02-14 23:36 Wanrong Lin 2008-02-18 11:18 ` Carsten Dominik 0 siblings, 1 reply; 6+ messages in thread From: Wanrong Lin @ 2008-02-14 23:36 UTC (permalink / raw) To: emacs-orgmode Hi, Is it possible to highlighting only the sparse tree leaves, or even better, highlighting the whole sparse tree but with leaves in a special face? The motivation for such a feature is this: Suppose I have a task tree like this: * TODO Task A *** TODO Task A.1 ***** TODO Task A.1.1 * TODO Task B *** TODO Task B.1 ***** TODO Task B.1.1 ***** TODO Task B.1.2 If I do a "org-sparse-tree", all those lines are highlighted, giving an impression that I have a lot of open tasks, but in reality I only have three tasks: A.1.1, B.1.1 and B.1.2, as the higher level tasks are automatically done if those are done. So it would be nice to highlight those leaves in a special face. Also, suppose both B.1.1 and B.1.2 are done, then Task B.1 should be highlighted as a leaf. Hope the above makes some sense. Thank you very much for giving it a thought. Wanrong ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

For example by using a different keyword for the headings that contain the true TODO items. I use PROJECT or something similar. When you then search for TODO, the true tasks will be highlighted. - Carsten On Feb 15, 2008, at 12:36 AM, Wanrong Lin wrote: > Hi, > > Is it possible to highlighting only the sparse tree leaves, or even > better, highlighting the whole sparse tree but with leaves in a > special face? > > The motivation for such a feature is this: > > Suppose I have a task tree like this: > > * TODO Task A > *** TODO Task A.1 > ***** TODO Task A.1.1 > * TODO Task B > *** TODO Task B.1 > ***** TODO Task B.1.1 > ***** TODO Task B.1.2 > > If I do a "org-sparse-tree", all those lines are highlighted, giving > an impression that I have a lot of open tasks, but in reality I only > have three tasks: A.1.1, B.1.1 and B.1.2, as the higher level tasks > are automatically done if those are done.

Following this approach I will need to remember to change "TODO" to "PROJECT" once a TODO item starts to have sub-items. Also, if all sub-actions of a "PROJECT" are marked as "DONE", I need to remember to turn the "PROJECT" back to "TODO", as I need the sparse tree to remind me to double check this TODO/PROJECT item to see whether it is really all done, or I need to add more sub-actions to it (and turn it back to "PROJECT" again). As you can see, that is a lot of manually actions and mistakes can be easily made. Maybe my workflow has some problem here, but I can not think of anything else that works better. The difficulty to me is, an item can be either PROJECT or TODO depending on how detailed your plan is, which keeps changing. I think if we can have the *option* of selecting a different face for highlighting sparse tree leaves, the above can be solved elegantly. You can still see the whole sparse tree, but the leaves will stand out. Just trying to push my case a little bit. :-) Thanks a lot.
