TODOs only shown when others are marked as done

TODOs only shown when others are marked as done

[Renee Klawitter]

Hi!

I'm an org-mode newbie but already quite dependent on it ... as it
works very well for me.

My way of doing things is - along general lines - to brainstorm about,
order logically and then make TODOs from my tasks. Most of the time
this involves TODOs which are dependent on other items - i.e. do B when
A is finished.

Therefore it would be great to be able to somehow create dependencies
between TODOs and only show those in the TODO tree, whose dependencies
are all marked DONE.

Is this possible with org mode ?

Thanks for your time,
Renee.

Hi Renee,

we have had some discussion about dependencies in the past,

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/3641/focus=3641

and a result was the creation of org-depend.el which is distributed
with Org as a contributed package.

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/3980

Hope this helps.

Hmm.. I never knew of it's existence. This seems like something that 
would be useful to me.  BTW, maybe it would be nice to annotate/document 
these kind of features which are in the "contrib" directory in an 
appendix of the info documentation. It would seem a shame if some of 
these features are not used because folks didn't know about the 
existence... Plus the more these are used then there would be more 
feedback and some of these could find their way into the main tree... 
Just a thought...

Hi Robin,

just take a look at the README file in the contrib directory.  There  
are plans to produce
a manual for these extensions, but that is a moving targets as these  
extensions are changed, and some of them indeed move into the core.

Maybe we can just have a short list in the documentation.......

Yes, it is useful. I just learned about org-depend.el from this thread. So,
you may be right that the contributed packages are not known enough
and should appear in the documentation. 

org-depend does automatically what I was doing manually for some
months. It is especially useful for GTD. It reduces the list of open
next steps to a better manageable list without losing track.

Greetings and thanks

Sven
