One thing that I miss, is a way to make org-todo-list wh= ere each todo item would, somehow, show its parent until the topmost (or wi= th configurable levels). Is it possible somehow? It would make it more easi= er to keep projects in only one file (GTD.org for example). I can use follo= w mode, but this would be nice.

Thanks,

Marcelo.

Hi Marcelo,

This is a thread to share your org dir (you have one right) file
structure. The title is because I see many of org users prefer having
big monolithic files, and I have a slightly different line of thought.

I have a handful of central files: e.g, inbox.org, reading.org,
computer.org, writing.org, and so on. I'= ;ve found, however, that on my
relatively modest machines org/outline buffers slow down at appr.
12,000+ lines and become more or less unnavigable at appr. 30,000+ lines (especially if they have a deeply nested structure). Whenever a file
gets too large, I simply create new files for sub-projects and
sub-topics (e.g., perl.org, emacs.org, etc.) and = link to them from the
main file (e.g., computer= .org). I also do a lot of archiving.

FWIW, I've found it quite convenient to rely on filetags to organize my=

a subset of agenda files that share a filetag (e.g., "emacs" or "writing"). This is a bit quicker than calling agenda commands on= all
agenda files and then filtering afterward. It also allows for greater
focus on a particular area of work.

Here are the functions:

Hi Matt,

this is very interesting!

One idea: =A0Instead of setting the value of org-agenda-files,
you can also restrict in the following way:

(org-agenda-remove-restriction-lock)
(put 'org-agenda-files 'org-restrict my-file-list)
(setq org-agenda-overriding-restriction 'files)

The restriction sticks until you remove it with `C-c C_x >'

I am not sure this will work better for your case - but maybe it will.
