Hi Carsten, I'm trying to tune my shiny new block agenda so it has a section that displays non-project tasks without a scheduled date or deadline date in the future.
I have a non-standard skipping function that skips project trees which I'm using in this agenda so what is left should only be non-project tasks. My agenda with only this non-standard skipping function works perfectly and gives me a list of only non-project tasks. I don't really want to see non-project tasks with a scheduled or deadline date in the future. I added org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled and org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines to 'future to this agenda view and now I get extra project tasks in the list which is incorrect. It seems the org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled (and deadlines) vars are applied to the list of todo tasks first -- so any projects that have a scheduled or deadline date are skipped (but not the entire tree - just the top-level project task) -- this makes all of the project subtasks appear in my 'non-project' task list which is wrong. If the non-standard skipping function was applied first and then the test for scheduled/deadline I think it work work the way I want. Is this hard to change? Example: * TODO Project task ** TODO Subtask 1 ** TODO Subtask 2 * TODO Non project task * TODO Another non-project-task * TODO Some future non-project task [2011-04-19 Tue 20:33] [2011-04-19 Tue 20:33] [2011-04-19 Tue 20:33] [2011-04-19 Tue 20:33] [2011-04-19 Tue 20:33]
