Hi Carsten,
Would it be possible to filter the data that creates the agenda clock
table report by tags? This would be useful to limit the report to a
specific project that spans multiple org files for instance.
Right now I do a monthly agenda report for everything and cut and paste
the result to get the details I need for a particular project - if I
could just limit the display to a specific tag and have the report only
include clock times for that tag then this would be much easier for me
to deal with.
e.g.
| Key | Detail |
|------------------+---------------------------------------|
| C-c a a | Go to agenda |
| m | Display agenda for this month |
| R | Display clock report for everything |
| / TAB projecttag | Limit display to specific project tag |
and have the resulting clock report only include the filtered tasks and
their clock times.
I would find this very useful but don't let me create new work for you
if it's not easy/fun :)
Thanks for org-mode!
Regards,
Bernt
