Hello all, Since the formatting on my earlier post was bad, I'm re-posting this with a bit more information:
I would really appreciate it if it were possible to specify an arbitrary lisp function to process node-properties when creating a column view. Currently it is possible to have something like: * Top node for columns view :PROPERTIES: :COLUMNS: %25ITEM %TAGS %PRIORITY %TODO :END: But I'd like to be able to do something like: :COLUMNS: %ITEM{fn:process_item}(My Column Heading Name) %TAGS %PRIORITY %TODO which would pass the ITEM property's value as a single argument to the process_item function. The returned value/string of the function would be what appears in the column view. Of course one should also be able to use a lambda expression in place of the function name. Does this sound like something worth working on? I would certainly have various uses for such functionality, so I imagine it would be useful to others as well. I understand that there is the org-collector module, but this isn't quite sufficient. Although it permits arbitrary lisp expressions, it doesn't allow one to customize what's printed for the column-headers, like a normal columnview block would allow. Regards, Mark
