Hi all,
I've been really behind on org-mode release and recently got to a 6.x
release. I've noticed the following 6.06b.
* b list [0/3]
- [-] [6/7] Stooge
- [ ] Larry
- [X] Curly
- [X] Moe
- [X] Shemp
- [X] Joe
- [X] Joe
- [X] Joe
- [-] [4/5] Marx
- [ ] Groucho
- [X] Harpo
- [X] Chico
- [X] Gummo
- [X] Zeppo
- [ ] [0/3] Eternal
- [-] Laurel and Hardy
- [ ] Stan
- [X] Oliver
- [-] [1/2] Abbott and Costello
- [ ] Lou
- [X] Bud
- [-] [1/2] Martin and Lewis
- [ ] Jerry
- [X] Dean
The [-] tokens are new and I do love them and have wanted something
like them since before I was begging for what became the [/] and [%]
tokens. On the other hand, I'm a little surprised by what the [/]
tokens got filled in with. Is there a new file or custom option that
I missed or is it no longer possible to get sub levels to feed back up
to the Todo item? I guess I could accept that if I got the old
behavior by removing the checkboxes from the lines with [-] in the
above example. Otherwise, I'd really like to call it a bug, or at
least undesirable.
The more I think about it, using checkboxes to hid those below them
(like the [-] ones above) might be a nice way to hide the ones below
it might be nice, like so:
* catch phrases [0/3]
- Curly
- [ ] Hey Moe
- [ ] nyuk nyuk nyuk
- [ ] [0/3] hellos (<=== It don't count until we have 'em all)
- [ ] hello
- [ ] hello
- [ ] hello
Unforunately, this becomes
* catch phrases [0/2]
- Curly
- [ ] Hey Moe
- [ ] nyuk nyuk nyuk
- [ ] [0/3] hellos (<=== It don't count until we have 'em all)
- [ ] hello
- [ ] hello
- [ ] hello
I get it, but I didn't expect it. I don't think I like it.
Edd

Hi Ed,
no, you are right that it is no longer possible to capture the state
of several levels of children and grandchildren with this. However, I
think the new is the more consistent and cleaner behavior, so I will
leave it like this.
