Wow, didn't think this observation would generate so much buzz :) Great to know other org-mode users feel the need for it too. Another aspect is that when you archive and item (when it's DONE) it's nice to know it's context. If you have a NEXT ACTION that belongs to a project and this specific NA

The follow-mode works fine, and this is what I use currently, but usually the item doesn't have data that tells clearly what it's parent item is. It'd be nice to have this overview, in the flat form -- like Eraldo said, if you'd like to print or just have a 10.000 feet view of the actions. I'm

I recall that there was a variable that controls whether dots get put into the agenda line to show that it is a child of the previous agenda line, or something like that. Might possibly work if you include the parent? What was the name of that variable anyway? On Sun, May 17, 2009 at 19:07,

No, just a workaround of inserting both the parent and the child and letting the dots tell you the relationship between them. But perhaps I am not following the thread closely enough. On Mon, May 18, 2009 at 15:01, Eraldo Helal ad...@eraldo.at wrote: On Mon, May 18, 2009 at 18:21, Samuel Wales

I had the idea of using CATEGORY as a keyword. Benefit: using #+CATEGORY (or the CATEGORY property) has the disadvantage that if I change the headline the category does not update: example: Org-file: * PROJECT *my_renamed_project1* :PROPERTIES: :CATEGORY: *myproject1* :END: ** TODO clean
