Hi Julien,

I often need to purge DONE items from my org files. I have set up a
special agenda view for checking those items and cutting some subtrees
from it using bulk commands. I'm using a function adapted from the
example in the manual (I've no idea if it's the best way to do it
however) :
,
| (defun bulk-cut ()
| (interactive P)
| (let* ((marker (or (org-get-at-bol 'org-hd-marker)
| (org-agenda-error)))
| (buffer (marker-buffer marker)))
| (with-current-buffer buffer
| (save-excursion
| (save-restriction
| (widen)
| (goto-char marker)
| (org-back-to-heading t)
| (org-cut-subtree))
`
Typing B f bulk-cut RET removes the selected items but it's a lot of
typing for a very useful action in my opinion.
Could it be added to the list of default bulk actions, with a X key
for example ?
Please test this patch and try to set `org-agenda-bulk-custom-functions'
(see the docstring).
Thanks for bringing this up!
