how to filter range of priorities? about org-super-agenda HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi Joakim,

That's very cool! I've never seen anyone use more than the default set of priorities before. If you have any non-sensitive data like that, would you mind sharing a sample of it? I'd like to see how you use it, maybe give it a try myself.

This is an interesting idea. I hadn't thought about selecting priorities like that. So I guess what you need is something like:

(:priority (> "A"))

And that would select items whose numeric priority is greater than the numeric value of A, right? Or maybe something like:

(:priority> "A")

What do you think? I think the second would be easier to implement. I think that won't be too difficult.

I think this should do it! Please let me know what you think. :)

Thanks, I'll try your solution!

The reason I have so many priority levels is because the way I work with org. I write down every idea I have and I have many ideas. I wont find time to do most of them, but if I write them down I can postpone ideas with peace of mind. atm I have 1300 open TODO:s. Of course this becomes unmanageable, so I sift TODO:s upwards in priority until I actually do them. That means priority A is mostly not high enough to be done immediately. As an aside, since priorities above A arent intuitive, because you have to know ascii by heart, I have also colorcoded the priority cookies to make them more readable.

Anyway, thanks for your work on org!

That sounds really interesting! Would you mind sharing the code that does that?

the colors arent the best, but this is how you can do it:

(defun jv-org-faces ()
(setq org-priority-faces
`(
(59 . (:foreground ,(color-lighten-name "Red" 10) :background ,(color-lighten-name "Red" 10) :weight bold :underline t))
(60 . (:foreground "White" :background "Red" :weight bold :underline t))
(61 . (:foreground "White" :background "DarkRed" :weight bold :underline t))
(62 . (:foreground "White" :background ,(color-darken-name "DarkRed" 10) :weight bold :underline t))
(63 . (:foreground "White" :background ,(color-darken-name "DarkRed" -10) :weight bold :underline t))
(64 . (:foreground ,(color-lighten-name "Yellow" 0) :background ,(color-lighten-name "Yellow" -10) ))
(65 . "DeepPink")
(66 . "firebrick")
(67 . "tomato"))
))

Thanks! I didn't even realize those color functions existed in Emacs!
