Using column view on a sparse tree displaying only a few tags.

Using column view on a sparse tree displaying only a few tags.

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 537 bytes --]

Let's say I have a org tree with some tasks tagged with the keyword 
":today:".
Now I do a sparse tree matching the today tag and this would limit the 
display to only items with tag "today".

Now if I would like to do a column view on that sparse tree by doing C-c 
C-x C-c. However this does not seem to limit the column display to only 
the headlines with the tag "today".  Is it possible to achieve what I'm 
trying to do? Is there any way to filter out (i.e hide) headlines in the 
column view based on some criteria?

Thanks,
Jose

Tag your tasks with :today: then do an agenda view tag match for today

C-c a 1 m today RET

Tag inheritance will control if subtasks are included or not.

Then C-c C-x C-c in the agenda view

Thanks Bernt, that works!
However the only thing is that I've defined COLUMNS for the whole file 
using the #+COLUMNS keyword at the top of the file. I guess those 
properties are not being considered in the column view on the agenda 
buffer. It comes up with the default column properties.... I guess the 
only way is to redefine the standard column properties, so that the 
column properties that I want are displayed in the agenda view as well...

thanks,
Jose

I use the same column definition everywhere so I have this in my .emacs

(setq org-columns-default-format "%40ITEM(Task) %17Effort(Estimated Effort){:} %CLOCKSUM")

That works great for me...

Your mileage may vary :)

This is now fixed.  Column view in the agenda will now use the column  
format
appropriate for the entry at point, or for the first entry in the agenda
view.  I.e. it will go back to the original buffer and take the format  
from
a property, a COLUMNS line, or, if these fail, from the default set in
org-columns-default-format'.

This change is up in the git repo.

Is there a regression here, or am I doing something wrong?  I have

#+COLUMNS: %TODO %3PRIORITY %40ITEM(Task) %17Effort(ETC){:} CLOCKSUM(Taken) %TAGS(Tags)

near the bottom of one of my four agenda files, but when I look at the
agenda and turn on column view, it still uses org-columns-default-format.
This is with a fairly recent git pull.

Re: Re: Using column view on a sparse tree displaying only a few tags.

This is no regression.  In the agenda, org will use the format  
applicable to the first item, since it has to use the same for all  
lines.  If that first item is from a file that has no columns format,  
it will use the default.  Just set the default format and not the file- 
local ones.

Ah, makes sense!  Thanks.
