I adapted this thread the best I could. Feel free to do with it what you
wish.
QUESTION
How do I restore the state of my buffer where I left it?
ANSWER
When Emacs first visits an Org file, the global state is set to
OVERVIEW, i.e., only the top level headlines are visible.
If you wish Emacs to restore the position of point where you left it in
your previous session, add the following code to your .emacs:
(require 'saveplace)
(setq-default save-place t)
If you wish Org-mode to restore the folded state of the buffer (not just
the position of point), you can either use customize, or add the following
to .emacs:
(setq org-show-siblings '((default) (isearch t) (bookmark-jump . t)))
If you use customize, take look at the variable org-show-siblings and set a
special context for bookmark-jump. This will work for both saveplace and
bookmarks.
Org-mode has very precise control for situations when a jump into invisible
text happens, for example by isearch or by bookmark-jump or saveplace.
There are companion variables, and they are all in the customization group
org-reveal-context.
