Hard to respond to this vague situation :-).
It would be great if you could point me at more specific situations
that
might break or if others could test the patch. I have been using it
for
more than a month now without problems.
The specific one I meant is if you use r or g to rebuild the agenda,
if you do something like a refile command which does an automatic
rebuild,
do you get back the view you expected?
Yes, I regularly use 'r'. It works for me. Refiling a single entry
did
not show a problem.
Also, if you apply other filter commands, either with "/", or
narrowing
the filter with "/", does that give the expected results while you
are
in your block agenda?
I quickly applied a tag filter using '/' 'tab'. Only the relevant
entries were shown. Some block agendas become empty as expected.
Clearing the filter restores the expected full view.
I am not entirely sure that the patch does not have problems though.
Matt: could you give the patch a quick test at your end?
I will only be able to study this more closely after the release.
Take your time, I will wait for more details to emerge or feedback
from
other testers.
One more note here: The current situation for block agendas is a bit
problematic as their limitations are not documented afaik.
Writing custom agendas is not easy in itself. If things don't work,
it
is really hard to distinguish between driver errors and
limitations of
the block agendas.
Do you have suggestions on how to improve the situation?
* Well, the best thing to do would be to remove the limitations of the
block agendas, obviously :-), which I hope this patch does.
* The second best thing is to document them.
I am aware of this tag filter limitation, but no others from the top
of
my head. Do others know more?
Cheers,
Martin
