[O] Disabling TODO entries in a subtree
Hi Orgers, I work as an editorial assistant for a journal (together with a friend). We get LaTeX files of articles, and have to convert them to our template, do some proof-reading and corrections, send galleys to authors etc. It is convenient to have a TODO Org tree for each paper, with TODO subheadings for all these activities. Thus, I created a tree called Paper template with all these TODO entries and copy it as needed. However, I do not want them to show up an the agenda's todo list. Is there a possibility to disable a tree, so that no its subheadings appear in the global todo list? If not, it's not a huge problem for me - I'll just write a small elisp function inserting my template - but if it's not possible, maybe (and this is a huge maybe!) such a feature is worth adding to Org-mode?

Perhaps there's a way to propagate some tag to the contents of the tree? Then exclude any items with that tag?

Check them out in the manual and in also check out the variable org-agenda-tag-filter-preset. To exclude a specific tree, you can try to tag the tree with the ARCHIVE tag. - Carsten Just a thought, John If not, it's not a huge problem for me - I'll just write a small elisp function inserting my template - but if it's not possible, maybe (and this is a huge maybe!) such a feature is worth adding to Org-mode?
