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, r _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
