If you set org-archive-save-context-info to include olpath, the outline headings will be saved as a property of the archived subheadling, enabling you to filter by original location in the tree. >>> * Work >>> ** Finsh DBMS >>> *** TODO Define schema >>> *** TODO Write code >>> ** Implement API >>> *** TODO Develop prototype >>> >>> * Home >>> ** Clean garage >>> *** TODO Buy shelves >>> *** TODO Install shelves For example if you archived "Clean Garage," it would appear in your archive file as: * Clean Garage :PROPERTIES: :ARCHIVE_OLPATH: Home [...] :END: Thus, in your example, you could filter by "Work" or by "Home" in the archive file. You can also optionally save information about CATEGORY, tags, file, etc. This would enable you to retain your dynamic archive file names using setq-org-archive-location, while still having the power to filter by type of work. Here's what I use: (setq org-archive-location (concat "~/archive/" (format-time-string \ "%Y") ".org::* " (format-time-string "%B"))) Which currently produces: ~/archive/2008.org::* December Using sparse trees, I can get a quick chronological overview of the entire year, filtered for particular types of work. This may not be what you are looking for, but I thought I'd share this possibility in case it helps. Just one more example of the astounding power and functionality of org!
