I can use column mode in the agenda, which is very useful because it can display properties. I know I can capture columns in a dynamic block within my org file. But is it possible to similarly capture columns for a filtered agenda? If so, I don't know how. This would solve my problem. > If you do not need the agenda's sophisticated filtering abilities, this > may already work for you. I would prefer an agenda mode that allowed both filtering on properties and display of those properties, just as tags work. If I have a list that has a color property, I can make an agenda that only displays red and green items. But nowhere in the list (apart from column mode) can I display which items are red and which are green. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Look at "7.5.3 Capturing column view" in the manual, it provides a solution to the "column view is not printable" problem.

Perhaps I am trying to use agenda in a way that was never intended, to export printable lists in tabular form. Using agenda mode, I can generate an html list that has one line per item, albeit with limited formatting and without property information. This does not work easily with column mode, which is not printable, or org-mode export, which is not tabular. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Consider a setup in which headlines are given a tracking number that can be used as a reference number outside of org. The reference number would naturally be a property, not a tag. To get a nice list that includes the reference number, it must be assigned to CATEGORY. Consider also a group agenda in which items are flagged in the prefix with the names of their owners. Again, the names must now be assigned to CATEGORY. As a design goal, I think would it make sense for agenda and column modes to have some overlapping features and syntax, including the ability to access properties. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
