Hi, I've now switched to following the development version because several things that I've wanted have been implemented in the short time I've been using org-mode already! And I was impressed with orgmode at the outset...
I tried version 6.26trans, and the hierarchical checkbox statistics works as expected. But I can't get the same behavior for TODO's. I just wanted to check that this is correct - that I'm not doing something wrong. Maybe I should explain more what I use org-mode for in this case to make things clearer. I use it to keep track of the readings I have to do for a qualifying exam. I categorize the readings according to topic, and then track the progress of each reading as a TODO. The reason I want to be able to check the global number of readings is to make sure that I'm keeping the right pace. The list is pretty long (223 entries in ~20 topics), so it's cumbersome to do by hand. This is a better representation of the file I use: * readings [0/0] :PROPERTIES: :COOKIE_DATA: todo :END: ** topic a *** TODO book 1 *** TODO book 2 ** topic b *** TODO article 1 *** TODO article 2 ** topic c *** TODO book 1 *** TODO article 2 So is it possible to have the cookie at the top count the TODO's at the lower levels? If not, it's not a big problem really - I can count them reasonably using grep and wc, but it just seems like a combination of hierarchical-checkbox-statistics and COOKIE_DATA: todo would do it?
