Hi folks, Today I stumbled across an instance where tag inheritance doesn't seem to work as I expected it to.
I'm using GNU Emacs 23.0.92.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.14.7) of 2009-04-12 on elegiac, modified by Debian, and Org-mode version 6.26trans. Let's say I have an org file that records all the information for a particular part of my life. Different parts of the file record meetings, track projects and record notes and other information. Here's what it might look like: * Meetings ** Lunch with John :Restaurant: <2009-04-27 Mon 12:30> ** Meeting with Fred :Office: <2009-04-27 Mon 13:00> * Projects ** Find Higgs Boson :Laboratory: DEADLINE: <2009-04-27 Mon> ** Achieve World domination :Office:Laboratory: SCHEDULED: <2009-04-28 Tue> ** Cook dinner :Kitchen: * Notes :Info: ** Mary's phone numbers - 1234-5678 - 0412-345-678 ** Jenny's web page - [[http://www.somewebpage.com][Jenny's web page]] I have customised org-stuck-projects[fn:1] to ignore entries tagged with the tag `Info'. org-use-tag-inheritance is set to `t'. If I hit C-a # to list stuck projects I would only expect to see the entry about cooking dinner listed. The `Notes' headline should be ignored, as should the notes about Mary's phone number and Jenny's web page, because they inherit the `Info' tag. In practice, the `Notes' headline is ignored as expected. However, the children are listed as stuck projects. After all this I have realised it's probably more appropriate to use properties rather than tags to do this sort of thing. Still, the behaviour puzzles me a bit, so I thought it was worth asking about. Is this behaviour incorrect? Or am I expecting the wrong thing? * Footnotes [fn:1] I had some trouble customising this variable in the usual way, because the explanation at the end of the customize buffer somehow got included in the sexp recorded in my .emacs. I deleted that line, reset the customize buffer and started again, but with exactly the same result. -- Cameron Horsburgh Blog: http://spiritcry.wordpress.com/ _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
