Hello All,

I have set a "#+FILETAGS: :Personal:" in my org file (did a C-c C-c
to initilalize it.) The tag did not appear in the agenda view like I expected it to. I was hoping to use agenda view filtering on tags to
see a subset of tasks with that tag (without having to set that for
all tasks.)  What else do I need to do for it to work?


Okay.  I think I realize my mistake now.

The FILETAGS are NOT meant to be displayed and hence can not be used
for filtering items in agenda view.  They are meant to be matched
while creating agenda only.

No. They are used when the agenda is created, and they are stored in a text property on the entry. If you press "T", you should see all the tags of an entry. I just tested it, and it works fine, including filtering, which acts
on the text-property tags, not only on the displayed tags.

Maybe you have turned off tag inheritance?  Because file tags are
*inherited* by all entries in the buffer.

"T" does show the tags, inheritance is enabled for those specific tags
listed in FILETAGS only but am unable to make filtering work.

This absolutely does work for me, also with non-top-level entries.

Could someone else please check?



I also haven't seen those tags being added to property of items!  I am
guessing this property is added to only top-level items.

That is right, the TAGS property (I guess you mean in column view???) only
shows the local tags.
