In order to keep my predefined tags (defined with org-tag-alist) along with the FILETAGS I just had to define them with org-tag-persistent-alist. Unfortunately this prevents the fast-tag-selection from working when calling org-capture. Any idea on how to keep the fast-tag-selection mechanism? -- rene

But I find it more elegant to build the agenda once (let's say for both office and home) and then hit a key to filter/restrict the scope to just one broad context (let's say office tasks and appointments), instead of rebuilding the agenda all the time. -- rene

I think this simplified part of my config for
org-agenda-custom-commands is similar to what you are looking for:
[...]
("c" "calendar c--"
((agenda
""
((org-agenda-files '("//notes_c.org"))
("d" "calendar cd-"
((agenda
""
((org-agenda-files '("//notes_c.org"
"//notes_d.org"))
("p" "calendar cdp"
((agenda
""
((org-agenda-files '("//notes_c.org"
"//notes_d.org"
"//notes_p.org"))
[...]

It's a little hard to know what's wrong with org-agenda-sticky, but a tag-based way of doing this would be to use a #+FILETAGS: line at the top of each of your files. That automatically adds any tag in that line to the whole file, so you can de-facto filter by files.

Well. Not exactly. Wouldn't I be able to work something out with org-agenda-category-filter-preset? I don't know how to make this work though. Is there some config example out there?

I do already have first level headlines each with its own CATEGORY in which I refile my tasks.

I'd have loved though to be able to switch from one view (home+office view) to another (office view) without having to reconstruct the whole agenda. -- rene

No, but you can have a category per file and filter per category, which does the same. Always, you can narrow down the scope of the agenda *before* creating the agenda, with C-c a < [yourkey] -- the < means to narrow down to the current buffer. Hope this helps, -- Bastien
[O] How to filter on files
Bastien gnu.org> writes: > Maybe show us your config and tell us what do you expect and what > do you get instead, that will surely be faster. You're right. I basically have 2 org files (home.org and office.org) where my tasks and appointments are stored. Most of the time I like to have all those tasks and appointments displayed in my agenda view (both office and home items). But once in a while I'd like to dynamically narrow down my list of agenda entries to either one of these files. I tried to play with org-agenda-filter-by-tag or org-agenda-filter-by-category but to no avail. Is there some kind of "org-agenda-filter-by-file" piece of code somewhere? -- rene
