Hi there;
Agreed, hiding properties entirely seems overkill and quite limited in
use cases. However, I think this stems from a more general need to
hide properties that are irrelevant to the user—for instance, UIDs
created by ox-icalendar, or other internal properties. As a user, I
see no need whatsoever to see—let alone edit—such a property, and feel
that it clutters the display. Assuming that properties are edited
using the suitable commands, no clash would be created by having a set
P of properties such that drawers with only P-properties would be
hidden. What do you think?
Cheers;
M.
