It depends on how you've set up MobileOrg. i sync via ssh, and thus sync manually via org-mobile-push and org-mobile-pull from within Emacs. If you use e.g. Dropbox, things might be different - i can't comment on that. Al 5. MobileOrg displays only the 3 'needed' items; the other 7 Al checked (i.e. unneeded) items are hidden. Yes (in fact, normally there are more of them, a dozen at least). See above - at this stage, for the purposes of understanding the core of the flow you're wanting, the exact numbers don't matter so much. But in terms of potential UI access to such flows, i'll certainly keep in mind that lists might include many dozens of items. Al 6. As items are purchased and checked off the list, they can Aleither: Al(a) remain visible; or Al(b) become hidden upon being checked. Al Is that correct? Yes.

But I can imagine that people who need longer shopping lists (more that one screen of them) would prefer to have a MobileOrg command to hide the newly-checked items as well. *nod* Fair enough. i'll check the MobileOrg issues page: https://github.com/matburt/mobileorg-android/issues for any equivalent and/or similar proposals, and submit a new issue if there aren't any. Either way, i'll see what i can do about adding this functionality. :-) Note, though, that i'm not the lead developer, so i don't have any control over if/when any such functionality will be (a) included in the master branch and (b) included in a release.

[O] Hiding checked items in a checkbox list (FR?)
Is it possible to hide the checked items? E.g. I have a long shopping list of items I regularly buy, but for the current date I need only a dozen of them. I'd like to be able to show all the items; possibly to check all of them; then uncheck the dozen I currently need; then hide the checked items. The next problem is that MobileOrg should respect the preliminary hiding done before the visit to the shop. I do not request that it hide the checked (= bought) items as well (actually I'd prefer it to leave them checked and visible; but also its hiding-on-the-fly is quite acceptable). -- Sergio
