Hi,
I have many org files named "TODO", and when I open up an agenda view
all of the tasks from these files are labeled by their file name "TODO"
rendering them in-differentiable to me. Is there a file property I can
set to override the use of the file name in the agenda views? I looked
in the documentation but to no avail.
Thanks -- Eric

If I understand correctly you can set different categories for each
using a subtree property
:PROPERTIES:
:CATEGORY: SomeName
:END:
or with
#+CATEGORY: SomeName
,----[ from the manual ]
| `#+CATEGORY:'
| This line sets the category for the agenda file. The category
| applies for all subsequent lines until the next `#+CATEGORY' line,
| or the end of the file. The first such line also applies to any
| entries before it.
`----
I prefer to put category names in the subtree as a property in the level
1 task - all my todo items are level 2 or higher in my files and I have
multiple categories per file.

I think:
#+CATEGORY: WhateverYouWant
placed before a set of entries or at the beginning of a file may be
what you want. --Manuel
