I have been using tag filtering from my agenda to get, e.g., a view of
the agenda that has only my TODOs that are tagged as '@car'. This works
fine. But when I try to write them to a text file, using C-x C-w, I get
output containing TODOs that are *not* tagged with @car.
I am doing this using the latest version from git.
I have done this before successfully, so I think this may be a recently
introduced problem.
I will have a look at the code, but thought I would report this right
away, in case anyone on the list has any insight.
Best,
r

I guess I expected the agenda-writer to be WYSIWYG in its behavior, and
so apply the filters.
I can understand what's going on, but it seems counterintuitive to me:
the filter I apply interactively is implemented with overlays and not
reflected in the output, but the special command I write that to me
seems to do the same thing is not implemented with overlays, so works
with org-write-agenda.
I can see why this is done this way, and having looked at the
emacs-lisp, I can see why it might be a big pain to change it to make
org-write-agenda be wysiwyg, but I find it hard to think of the current
behavior as actually desirable. Why would one *want* (as opposed to
tolerate) an agenda writer that shows one something different from what
one sees on the screen?
Put differently, why would I expect C-x C-w effectively to *strip* the
filters? I have already filtered, so I don't think of it as removing or
filtering for C-x C-w to print what I see. Again, I understand what is
really happening in the code, but to a user, it looks as if C-x C-w is
stripping a filter that's been applied.
best,

Hi Robert,
I agree that the exported agenda view should not contain the stuff
hidden by a filter. The next push to the git repo fixes this problem.
Thanks for the report!
