Subject: Re: Arbitrary lisp functions in column-attributes
Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2013 12:41:13 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAMsBe8qhRvQmMui3HbPq8tX2s9V9POrxOpFh3-SA6KSs6VkYfA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello all,
Since the formatting on my earlier post was bad, I'm re-posting this
with a bit more information:
I would really appreciate it if it were possible to specify an
arbitrary lisp function to process node-properties when creating a
column view. Currently it is possible to have something like:
* Top node for columns view
:PROPERTIES:
:COLUMNS: %25ITEM %TAGS %PRIORITY %TODO
:END:
But I'd like to be able to do something like:
:COLUMNS: %ITEM{fn:process_item}(My Column Heading Name) %TAGS
%PRIORITY %TODO
which would pass the ITEM property's value as a single argument to the
process_item function. The returned value/string of the function
would be what appears in the column view.
Of course one should also be able to use a lambda expression in place
of the function name.
Does this sound like something worth working on? I would certainly
have various uses for such functionality, so I imagine it would be
useful to others as well.
I understand that there is the org-collector module, but this isn't
quite sufficient. Although it permits arbitrary lisp expressions, it
doesn't allow one to customize what's printed for the column-headers,
like a normal columnview block would allow.
Regards,
Mark
