Re: [O] org mode capture to headline at point

Thanks!

You misunderstood though! Ending up over the asterisk is what my function
does (if it works as intended)! So it should work anywhere in the heading?

[O] inheritance of mutually exclusive tags

[yanmcbe]

Org-mode allows marking a set of tags as mutually exclusive. It also allows
the inheritance of tags.

(from now on I am talking only about these mutually exclusive tags)

When a tag is set in a parent, but also in a child, what I expect to happen
is that the child is not included in searches/selections with the parent
tag.

In the example [0], a search for black (e.g. C-/ m black ) should not
match poodle, because it is white.

Now I realize that the mutually exclusive tag concept is probably only a
convenience for adding tags with C-c. And it doesn't seem to have any other
implications, but it would be nice to have. Do you think this is a
possibility or that I could get this behaviour some other way?

Thanks!

[O] automatically updating a table (including adding rows)

[yanmcbe]

Hi

I have a bit of a rambling question. I'd like to have a table to which I
can decide to have a row added which contains a value computed from a
columnview table (the ratio of time logged over the total amount of
Effort). That's the main goal, but since it doesn't work like I want, I'm
looking for some general advice as well (e.g. on TBLFM lines using lisp
forms).

I have created a MCE at http://paste.lisp.org/+771D

Hopefully some of the gotchas I encountered are clearly explained there.
Please let me know if you read all of this and didn't understand what I'm
asking for specifically!

Thanks!

Kind regards
Yan

Re: [O] org-agenda-filter-effort and "invalid face reference"

[yanmcbe]

Wow, this issue comes very close to something I struggled for hours with
(3h42') last year.

It finally boiled down to this: sorting by effort in the agenda view only
works (correctly) when org-agenda-remove-tags is t. Here's the (edited) ECM
I created for IRC and eventually the list: http://paste.lisp.org/+7723

Is that still expected behaviour? Lack of documentation? The updated
org-agenda-compare-effort Nicolas provided doesn't solve this, at least.

Thanks
Yan
