If I > understand correctly, this is what you want. Yes. The concept of not having to worry about where things are in the org file doesn't really work for me. I like things having a certain category in that category section - otherwise there seems little point in having lines like ,---- | * Emacs | | :PROPERTIES: | :CATEGORY: Emacs | :END: `---- This might seem like an incredibly naive question, but with the concept of "general properties", where do TAGs fit in now? Is a tag a special kind of property? I am having difficulty seeing the best way to utilise the tools and would appreciate some wise words of guidance here. > > - Carsten
