Often my entries marked as TODO have some short text that only makes sense with its parents, such as call again or reply, so when there are many of these items in the agenda, with follow mode I can only reveal the context of one at a time and have to keep all of the previous ones in short memory. Which is possible to a certain degree, but eventually reaches the limit of my short memory capacity ... When I put all headlines under a single top-level item such as Projects, the sparse-tree does almost what I want (except that it does not aggregate multiple agenda org-files). But having a single top level parent feels a bit wrong. Til ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Agenda that shows hierarchy above matches?
Hi, I wonder if there is way to get an agenda showing all TODO items with the hierarchical context up to the top level. Given an projects.org like this: * Project A ** TODO do foo ** TODO do bar ** DONE do baz * Project B ** DONE do foo * TODO Another small thing An agenda view, e.g. tags match for /!TODO looks like this: projects: TODO do foo projects: TODO do bar projects: TODO Another small thing In order to find out the context of the first two lines, I currently have to go to each line and hit tab to see the corresponding location in the org file or switch on follow mode. This is not ideal for getting an overview over all TODO items when there are lots of such matches because I would then need to follow each item and remember the context. Also sometimes I would like to export an agenda to a text file including all their parent headlines up to the top level, but no other items of the org file. So is there a way to get an agenda that looks similar to this: projects: * Project A ** TODO do foo ** TODO do bar * TODO Another small thing Actually org-sparse-tree is very close to what I want, but first it only works for a single org file (which I could live with), but also as far as I see there is no way to hide the collapsed top level headlines which have no match - * Project B in the above example.

Depending on the depth of hierarchy you wish to cater for, categories may be helpful. Given an projects.org like this: * Project A ** TODO do foo ** TODO do bar ** DONE do baz * Project B ** DONE do foo * TODO Another small thing add the CATEGORY property (C-c C-x p cat TAB) to A and B headings, something like Project A, say, and this will appear on the left of the line in the agenda view in lieu of the file. Categories can help give you a single level of context. Arbitrary levels can be achieved with tags, by the way.
