I have noticed that when I pull up an agenda view, if I enable/disable
items (ie: enable logbook, enable inactive timestamps), that if I
change to a new time period (ie: forward/backward day/week/month/view)
that I lose some settings. Generally it's the inactive timestamps,
though logbook stays.
Can we consider making agenda keep all settings when regenerating the
view when navigating by time?

M-x org-agenda 1 a (restricted to current file, create agenda view). Now viewing the weekly agenda in buffer *Org Agenda*. Press "L" to enable logbook. Press "[" to enable inactive timestamps. I now see the full week with log and timestamps. Press "b" to go back one week. I now see last week's agenda. Logbook mode is still enabled. Inactive timestamps are missing. Pressing "[" will enable inactive timestamps again. If I navigate again, forward or backward in time, or change between daily/weekly/monthly view, timestamps are missing. It appears that the agenda settings in the current view are not reused when refreshing for a new time. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Russell Adams RLAdams@AdamsInfoServ.com https://www.adamsinfoserv.com/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Unlike agenda log-mode, where L toggles the mode on/off, the inactive timestamps are not toggled; they can only be enabled and re-enable manually when the agenda view is refreshed. This is consistent with the documentation: ‘v [’ or short ‘[’ (‘org-agenda-manipulate-query-add’) Include inactive timestamps into the current view. Only for weekly/daily agenda. Note how there no word "toggle" in the manual. It explicitly refers to the "current view". I am not sure why it is done this way and I cannot see any explanations in the git logs. I do not see why it should not be possible to make inactive timestamp display into a toggle. Patches welcome. It is an easy patch. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
