If this would mean that the category setting like this is for only that subtree, instead of every entry after that category setting, I support this feature immensely (same for archive ofcourse). I can not use categories at all at the moment, since for most entries I just have a "default" category which will do, but some things should get a special category - and I hate littering #+CATEGORY lines under entries which clearly should not have them, like: #+CATEGORY: Common * TODO Item 1 * Job tasks #+CATEGORY: Job ** TODO Task 1 ** TODO Task 2 #+CATEGORY: Common * Todo Item 2 This is just ugly, compared to: #+CATEGORY: Common * TODO Item 1 * Job tasks :PROPERTIES: :CATEGORY: Job :END: ** TODO Task 1 ** TODO Task 2 * Todo Item 2 -- Naked
