Hi,
I've now switched to following the development version because
several
things that I've wanted have been implemented in the short time I've
been using org-mode already! And I was impressed with orgmode at the
outset...
I tried version 6.26trans, and the hierarchical checkbox statistics
works as expected. But I can't get the same behavior for TODO's. I
just wanted to check that this is correct - that I'm not doing
something wrong.
Maybe I should explain more what I use org-mode for in this case to
make things clearer. I use it to keep track of the readings I have
to
do for a qualifying exam. I categorize the readings according to
topic, and then track the progress of each reading as a TODO. The
reason I want to be able to check the global number of readings is
to
make sure that I'm keeping the right pace. The list is pretty long
(223 entries in ~20 topics), so it's cumbersome to do by hand.
This is a better representation of the file I use:
* readings [0/0]
:PROPERTIES:
:COOKIE_DATA: todo
:END:
** topic a
*** TODO book 1
*** TODO book 2
** topic b
*** TODO article 1
*** TODO article 2
** topic c
*** TODO book 1
*** TODO article 2
So is it possible to have the cookie at the top count the TODO's at
the lower levels?
If not, it's not a big problem really - I can count them reasonably
using grep and wc, but it just seems like a combination of
hierarchical-checkbox-statistics and COOKIE_DATA: todo would do it?
Best,
Alexander

We have had the same discussion recently about checkboxes,
and added a variable org-hierarchical-checkbox-statistics.
However, my personal view is that the outline hierarchy is
different, because if you are organizing tasks into a hierarchy,
so it does not make sense to add TODO's on different levels.

Hi,
Forgive me if there is an obvious way to do this that I haven't
found.
Is there an easy way to calculate the total number of tasks for a
file or a subtree?
For example, if the checkbox/todo progress cookie would calculate
the
number of checkboxes/todos recursively for a subtree.
so that this:
* TODO heading 1 [1/3]
** DONE task A
** TODO task B
** TODO task C
*** TODO task C1
*** TODO task C2
would be this instead:
* TODO heading 1 [1/5]
** DONE task A
** TODO task B
** TODO task C
*** TODO task C1
*** TODO task C2
I would be fine with any other solution as well, it was just
that it
seems closest to the checkbox/todo functionality.
Thanks you,
Alexander
