Hi Memnon,
Yes, column view does not update its summaries based on filtering. But
perhaps you could create a custom agenda block that shows separate
agendas for each tag ("duties", "studium", etc.).
E.g.,
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("b" "Balance"
((agenda ""
((org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if
'notregexp ":duties:"))))
(agenda ""
((org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if
'notregexp ":studium:")))))
;; add more agenda views here
((org-agenda-view-columns-initially t)))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Best,
Matt
