<Sorry for the double post - hit C-c C-s in Gnus trying to set the scheduled date and that sends the message... oops>
Hi Carsten, I'm trying to tune my shiny new block agenda so it has a section that displays non-project tasks without a scheduled date or deadline date in the future. I have a non-standard skipping function that skips project trees which I'm using in this agenda so what is left should only be non-project tasks. My agenda with only this non-standard skipping function works perfectly and gives me a list of only non-project tasks. I don't really want to see non-project tasks with a scheduled or deadline date in the future. I added org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled and org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines to 'future to this agenda view and now I get extra project tasks in the list which is incorrect. It seems the org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled (and deadlines) vars are applied to the list of todo tasks first -- so any projects that have a scheduled or deadline date are skipped (but not the entire tree - just the top-level project task) -- this makes all of the project subtasks appear in my 'non-project' task list which is wrong. If the non-standard skipping function was applied first and then the test for scheduled/deadline I think it work work the way I want. Is this hard to change? Example: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- * TODO Project task SCHEDULED: <2011-04-12 Tue> ** TODO Subtask 1 ** TODO Subtask 2 * TODO Non project task * TODO Another non-project-task DEADLINE: <2011-06-03 Fri> * TODO Some future non-project task SCHEDULED: <2011-06-18 Sat> --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- My agenda view for non-project tasks should show only * TODO Non project task * TODO Another non-project-task * TODO Some future non-project task but with (setq org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled 'future) the top level 'Project task' is skipped and 'Subtask 1' show up (and is considered not a project since it has no subtasks) If this can't be changed for some technical reason I guess I can make my skipping function more intelligent and look up the hierarchy as well to make sure this task is not under some other project task but I didn't think that would be necessary to accomplish what I want. Do you have any suggestions for how I get to my desired end result? Regards, Bernt
