OK, I think I understand. In my setup all the todo are in the same file, so it should help. So I'll rephrase my question: how can I set-up an agenda custom view such that it shows only the TODO from one file that have a given tag, as well as their subtrees? (I want to use an agenda custom view because the agenda export command are really nice and easy to use programatically.) Thanks, Alan
