Hi all, hi Carsten I have an issue with the column view sum scope that can be shown best with a minimal word count example:
#+begin_src org ,#+COLUMNS: %14ITEM %18word_count(sum of word counts){+} ,- dynamic block for column view: , #+BEGIN: columnview , #+END: ,* article ,** section , :PROPERTIES: , :word_count: 2 , :END: , First_word, second_word. ,*** subsection , :PROPERTIES: , :word_count: 1 , :END: , Third_word. #+end_src After "C-c C-c" on "#+BEGIN:" I would like both ":word_count:" to be left unchanged, leading to a section sum and article sum of 3: #+begin_src org ,#+COLUMNS: %14ITEM %18word_count(sum of word counts){+} ,- dynamic block for column view: , #+BEGIN: columnview , | ITEM | sum of word counts | , |----------------+--------------------| , | * article | 3 | , | ** section | 3 | , | *** subsection | 1 | , #+END: ,* article ,** section , :PROPERTIES: , :word_count: 2 , :END: , First_word, second_word. ,*** subsection , :PROPERTIES: , :word_count: 1 , :END: , Third_word. #+end_src but what one gets is the first ":word_count:" interpreted as only the total of all _subsections_, leading to a section sum and article sum of 1: #+begin_src org ,#+COLUMNS: %14ITEM %18word_count(sum of word counts){+} ,- dynamic block for column view: , #+BEGIN: columnview , | ITEM | sum of word counts | , |----------------+--------------------| , | * article | 1 | , | ** section | 1 | , | *** subsection | 1 | , #+END: ,* article ,** section , :PROPERTIES: , :word_count: 1 , :END: , First_word, second_word. ,*** subsection , :PROPERTIES: , :word_count: 1 , :END: , Third_word. #+end_src As I understand, org-wc.el from the word count thread http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/41146/focus=42663 suffers from the same problem. The terms curval, curtotal and prevtotal found here http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/12067 look like what one needs here. But I couldn't find neither these terms in any org/lisp/*.el nor any related commit around the time of the post above. Carsten, do you remember this? Now I would be glad to hear any thoughts and hints. Michael
