So I am putting these in, but I will use a keyword #+FILETAGS: because #+TAG is just too similar to #+TAGS, and this would certainly lead. In know, TAG would be nicely symmetric to PROPERTY, but still I am choosing the other way. Thanks for your idea - it will be in the next git push, and part of the 6.04 release. - Carsten On May 16, 2008, at 6:14 PM, Manuel Hermenegildo wrote: > > Is there a way to set tags globally for a file, so that all entries in > the file inherit that tag?
