Minor bugreport.
I've noticed for a long time that the "view inactive timestamps" option in the
agenda view isn't persistent when navigating across time.
To replicate:
- View agenda
- 'l' to enable logbook mode
- '[' to enable inactive timestamps
- 'b' to go back to the prior timeperiod
- inactive timestamps are gone and must be enabled again with '[', causing a
rebuild of the view
I often run into this when I'm reviewing my time for billing. All of my todo
items are logged on state change so the logbook mode shows them. I also
frequently insert inactive timestamps while working on an issue. I have to see
the inactive stamps to understand what was being worked on at the
time. Currently I have to toggle the timestamps every time I change months.
Perhaps there are other customized agenda settings being lost when navigating
across time periods?

this is a defvar but very useful and imo could be defcustom. i used
it for many years.
;; (setq org-agenda-include-inactive-timestamps t)
you have to coordinate with org-agenda-start-with-log-mode.
[ is unusual in that it combines with maniuplate query.
using the defvar fixes issues with kw state and maybe a few more
things. but it might not show as you want [but to me it is good].
make sure you know what you are doing if you use org-agenda-skip-*.
this might be useful.
;; (defadvice org-agenda-log-mode
;; (around toggle-off-inactive-also activate compile)
;; (let ((org-agenda-include-inactive-timestamps t)
;; ad-do-it))
there are probably several things taht need preserving.
text scale might still not be preserved unless that was fixed.
somebody kindly supplied code but idk if it was merged.
that is all i can provide atm.

related agenda anomalies.

Samuel,
I'm aware I can customize it further. Not every agenda needs inactive stamps or
log view. My comment was that the agent report doesn't preserve the settings
across time periods.

apologies for misunderstanding your email. yes, it would be good to
preserve more if possible.
