Hi Manish,

I very much like the idea to add an indicator to the agenda mode line, and will do that.

You said that you can filter an already filtered view. This is only partially correct. If you do that, it is not so that you will further filter down the current list. Instead, a new filter will be applied to the original list. At first I had it in fact implemented in a way that several filters could be used in a row, but John Wiegley (how asked for this feature) convinced me that the current convention is better.

What this feature really does is saving you the definition of different agenda commands selecting for specific tasks. Instead, you can now create one view and then filter it for different tags.

We could implement filtering for several tags, but I am not sure if this will be really so useful.

This works for me.  I added

#+FILETAGS: :Personal:

to the top of one of my org files, hit C-c C-c on the line to
reinitialize and then match tags with Personal as the target with

C-c a m Personal RET

and it lists all of the tasks in my org file including top-level tasks.
The tasks do now show :Personal: in the display but using T
on any tasks
shows the tag is inherited.

I hit T on a task 4 levels deep and it includes the Personal tag.

It also works with

#+FILETAGS: Personal

Thanks Bernt. It works this way for me as well. I guess I should be able to mimic similar behaviour by restricting agenda to that specific
buffer as well.

But does it (task filtering based on tags using "/") work while you
are in agenda view?

Yes this works for me. / TAB <tagname> works even if tagname is not in org-tag-alist. Some of my (new) FILETAGS are still in my org-tag- alist so I can just filter with the quick-keys but for the ones that are not
the / TAB <tagname> works fine.

I tested this with C-a a t to show all my todo keyword tasks without
scheduled dates and then used / to filter that list down to some
specific FILETAG tagname.

Finally, agenda filtering on tags works for me.  Unfortunately, I am
not sure if it was an update, tweak or some other tinkering that fixed
it but it works beautifully.  It is now one of my favourite features.
I did not expect but was pleasently surprised to find that it allowed
filtering an already filtered view.  Carsten also fixed tab completion
of tags.  Sweet.

Will it be possible/useful to add some kind of indication to modeline
showing that filtering is in effect and the filters applied (may be
like "(Org Agenda Day Diary Filtered: P, t)")?  But I love it even
without it.
