I sometimes work in an org-file that I currently do not have included in org-agenda-files.
Having the cursor for example on a timestamp in that file and pressing TAB I will see the agenda of
that day.
What happens is that the agenda opens and I do not see my todo since the file is not in
org-agenda-files. This seems unintuitive to me. I will then manually add the current file to
org-agenda-files.
Maybe there could be a variable allowing to automatically include the current org file in
org-agenda-files when agenda view is activated from a on-included file?
What do you think?

I think it would be very useful.
Depending on a new custom variable:
- always include the file automatically
- include the file if [condition: interactive prompt/regexp/...]
- don't include the file

Are (both of) you thinking about *permanently* adding it to the agenda
files, or only temporarily for the current agenda command?

I was thinking of *permanently* adding them.

Well I would rather add it temporarily.
But - maybe a config variable would decide?

Also for me this would be the only reasonable choice. I have so many
files on
org-mode, most of them are actually not in the agenda. It seems to me
that
adding a file to the list of agenda files should be a conscious
decision.

Hi,
Are (both of) you thinking about *permanently* adding it to the agenda
files, or only temporarily for the current agenda command?
I would likely want this *temporarily*.

After some thinking, it seems to me that this is not the right thing to
do.
As I said earlier in the thread, adding a file should be something
you explicitly request.
It you want to temporarily look at the agenda entry a file would
produce,
you can always create an agenda restricted to the current buffer. That
buffer does not have to be a member of org-agenda-files.
E.g.
C-c a 1 a
