Hi
thanks everyone for the feedback! With it I managed to use the
%(expression) in org-agenda-prefix-format to show the breadcrumbs. In
case that's useful for other people too, I attached a patch that adds a
%b option to org-agenda-prefix-format to does the same. Would be great,
if this could be included.
Thanks
Arun
