Hi Christopher,
Changing the columns format from view to view is not trivial.
This is what the variable org-overriding-column-format is
for. You must not set this in a normal way, but only as
an option for an agenda command, for example
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("x" "With deadline columns" alltodo ""
((org-agenda-overriding-columns-format "%20ITEM %DEADLINE")
(org-agenda-start-view-columns-initially t)))))
This will define the "x" as an agenda dispatcher custom key,
creating an agenda view, defining a special columns format,
and immediately turning on column view.
Hmmm, at least this was *supposed* to work this way, but I see
now that there is a little bug.
You need to get the latest git release (or release 6.15c)
for this to work correctly....
