custom commands 'todo-tree' and org-agenda-skip-function

custom commands 'todo-tree' and org-agenda-skip-function

[Vladi Solutka]

Hello,

I'm currently playing with org-agenda-custom-commands and noticed that
skipping scheduled entries does not work for todo-trees.

Example: The following works fine for 'todo', but with 'todo-tree' 
(as used here) scheduled entries are also shown.

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands '(("x" "Open" todo-tree "TODO"
       ((org-agenda-skip-function (lambda nil (org-agenda-skip-entry-if
       'scheduled 'deadline)))))))

Is this intended?

Maybe not intended, but the tree commands are using a completely  
separate implementation (the sparse-tree engine.  You can specify tree  
commands in agenda-custom-commands as shortcuts, but really they have  
nothing to do with the agenda engine.  And it is that engine which  
implements skipping.

Oh, ok, I see :-| This wasn't clear to me from the manual - thanks for
clarification!

Hm. Thou I nearly don't dare to ask: Are there any chances or plans that
skipping in the sparse-tree will be implemented?

Anyway, thanks for orgmode :-)))))

Not likely in the near future.  You can do some hacking by using org- 
occur and the callback argument, but I think for complex searching the  
agenda is where the future likes.  I think of sparse trees more like a  
quick-look tool.
