Filter for recursive counting (org-hierarchical-todo-statistics)

Filter for recursive counting (org-hierarchical-todo-statistics)

Dear community,

My org-hierarchical-todo-statistics variable is set to nil in order to
obtain a recursive count of my TODO items in subtrees. However, I would
like to know if it is possible to filter this count to include only some
TODO keywords. A real-life example :

I use the TODO/DONE keywords for actions on which I can act directly, and
the TOCOMPLETE/COMPLETED keywords for actions that will be instantly done
when all their children are done (no "direct action" required). What I
would like in that case is having a recursive count only for the TODO/DONE
keywords, by not taking into account the TOCOMPLETE/COMPLETED keywords in
the cookie.

Thank you very much for your help,

FC

You may want to customize `org-provide-todo-statistics' and set it to
a list of TODO keywords for which you want statistics.

Hi,

Okay, actually, after using this solution, there is just one thing I think
that could be considered a bug (not very problematic though). Consider the
following subtree:

* TOCOMPLETE Project A [0/3]
** TOCOMPLETE Subproject[0/2]
*** TODO Task 1
*** TODO Task 2
** TODO Task

I excluded the keyword TOCOMPLETE from 'org-provide-todo-statistics' so it
won't appear in the statistics. This is why I get [0/3] at the top of the
subtree. But if I mark the 2 tasks in the subproject as DONE, then I also
want to mark the subproject itself as DONE (using a special keyword, like
COMPLETED). However, marking it as COMPLETED will include it again in the
statistics: instead of getting [2/3], I will get [3/4].

Is there any way to explicitly include the DONE keyword in
org-provide-todo-statistics (and consequently, implicitly exclude other
DONE keywords)? I tried to include DONE but it doesn't work.

Thank you very much and sorry for the nitpicking ;)

I just pushed a fix for this in master.

(The reason I'm pushing it to master instead of maint is that the
maint branch will go into Emacs 24.4 soon, and we try to fix only
obvious or important bugs there -- this one was more a limitation
than a bug.)

You can set

  (setq org-provide-todo-statistics '(("TODO") ("DONE")))

and stats will be updated based on those two keywords only.

Let me know if this works for you,
