Mar 5, 2018 at 22:07 comment added Stuart Hickinbottom @kajman Not too easy to answer that one. I spent quite a lot of time watching the org-mode mailing list, the Emacs subreddit, and Emacs-related blogs, the Emacs Wiki, then just scavenged from things that looked interesting as I came across the. Looking through other people's Emacs init files is also a great way, and I still find interesting snippets and new (to me) packages that way after a number of years. I can't remember how I came across this particular config originally, but likely from one of these sources.
Mar 5, 2018 at 17:24 comment added kajman @StuartHickinbottom Thanks this works great. Can you shed some light how did you come up with the solution? I feel almost retarded when I try configure my emacs, it always all seems like guessing to me and it takes forever to come with a solution like this. Do you have any hints, what to read, where too look etc? I tried looking into docus, read about the variables I thought could be changed and so on. Even having this function didn't help to configure this on my own. This seems simple but I cannot do it on my own so it irritates me a lot!
Mar 3, 2018 at 17:59 comment added Stuart Hickinbottom @kajman You can set up a custom agenda command to display that agenda, then use bulk agenda commands to mark them for archiving. e.g. the following then "C-c a A", then "m" to mark tasks you want to archive, then "B $" to archive the marked tasks. Not as long-winded as it sounds when you try it! (setq org-agenda-custom-commands (cons '("A" "Candidate trees for archiving" tags "-NOARCHIVE" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Candidate tasks for archiving") (org-agenda-skip-function 'my-skip-non-archivable-tasks))) org-agenda-custom-commands))
Mar 3, 2018 at 10:46 comment added kajman @StuartHickinbottom yes this seems to be exactly it. Unfortunately I cannot figure out how can I use this skipping function when calling the archive function.
Feb 24, 2018 at 16:57 comment added Stuart Hickinbottom There's an example of exactly that agenda-based approach here: doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html#Archiving I've been using that for a while in my own init and it's been working well.
Feb 22, 2018 at 6:27 comment added mankoff Until the desired function is found/written, a hack solution is to make a custom agenda view that shows tasks that meet this requirement, and then bulk archive from the agenda view.
