tags match agenda

tags match agenda

[Richard Riley]

when I create an agenda matching a certain tag its not working for file
level tags. Is this a known issue or have I done something wrong?

(C-c a m)

http://orgmode.org/manual/Setting-tags.html

file level tags:

  #+TAGS: laptop car pc sailboat

It works for me with a slightly different syntax:

#+FILETAGS: :laptop:car:pc:sailboat:

Good to know as thats how I had it originally.

I wonder if its a bug to do with my capture template being of the form

 ("j" "Journal" entry
  (file+datetree "journal.org")
  "* %?\n	:PROPERTIES:\n	:DateCreated: %T\n	:END:\n%i\n%a")

i.e datetree not being properly searched? Other file level tags work
fine.

Perhaps make a simple file with four headlines, each tagged one of the
ones you listed, copy it to the list, and then state which tag is not
showing up with =C-c a m=? Then we can try to replicate.

It's file level tags which dont work. The extract above is from the
manual - do they work for you in that format?

Hi Richard,

I think this works for me.  I'm using C-c a 1 m since my test file is
not in org-agenda-files.

I've applied some of those tags to headings in my test file and I can
show them with an agenda tags match.  C-c a 1 m laptop RET

I am assuming you just want to define the tags for this file only and
not apply them to every heading in the file (which is #+FILETAGS:)

Can you provide any more information about this problem?

I want all entries in this file to inherit the tag so it should be
"filetags" I believe. My other tests suggest it is my

,----
| ("j" "Journal" entry
|   (file+datetree "journal.org")
|   "* %?\n	:PROPERTIES:\n	:DateCreated: %T\n	:END:\n%i\n%a")
`----

datetree format that might be stopping the tag match occurring.

Or am I confusing issues here?

In my journal file I have

#+TITLE:  my journal
#+FILETAGS: :journal:

I would expect C-c a m journal

to show all journal entries in a standard result list.

Hi Richard,

what is the value of the variable org-tags-match-list-sublevels?

I don't think you need the colons around journal on the

   #+FILETAGS: journal

line.  You can just separate multiple tags with spaces on this line and
they should all get applied.

You also need to C-c C-c on that line (or any #+ line at the top
of your file) when you change things to reload org-mode so it sees the
new settings and applies it to your headings -- or restart Emacs)

That's correct as long as your journal is included in your
org-agenda-files.
