Filter in Captured Column View

Filter in Captured Column View

[Mats Kindahl]

Hi all,

I am using the capture column view to capture the contents of a subtree
at the beginning of the subtree. However, there are a lot of sections
that do not contain anything interesting for the capture in question, so
I would like to filter out anything except trees with certain tags.

So, for the example below, it shows some headers at the beginning that I
would like to avoid showing. Only in information on the individual
releases should be shown as groups.

Best wishes,
Mats Kindahl

Hi Mats,

You can add

     :skip-empty-rows t

to the columnview header, so that rows with no Status property will
not show.

This, however, will also hide the "Release" headers. Workaround is to
add a dummy 'Status' property to these.

Doc here: http://orgmode.org/manual/Capturing-column-view.html

Thanks Juan,

It seems to work, so I'll use that for now, but having some sort of
filtering supported would be a great feature.

I'll play around a little and see if that can be added.

Best wishes,
Mats Kindahl
