Subject: Struggling with large:     :LOGBOOK: .. :END: blocks

Hi all,

As a long time Org user I have a lot of tasks having large

:LOGBOOK:
..
:END:

blocks, sometimes 50 and more CLOCK entries.
Why? Well, I have tasks to read and organise E-Mail which I do at least once I day and which I have to clock.


I also do have to adjust the latest few CLOCK lines manually.
Now, opening the :LOGBOOK: block I cannot see the text following the :LOGBOOK: block
because all the CLOCK entries flood my screen.
But I would like to see it in order to get some context of the task.

Wouldn't it be a nice thing to be able to configure the number of visible block entries?


This could result in:
Opening the :LOGBOOK block with TAB shows this:


* TODO text
:LOGBOOK:
CLOCK: [2012-03-27 Di 13:00]--[2012-03-27 Di 13:30] =>  0:30
CLOCK: [2012-03-06 Di 11:30]--[2012-03-06 Di 11:45] =>  0:15
CLOCK: [2012-03-02 Fr 14:45]--[2012-03-02 Fr 15:15] =>  0:30
..
:END:


Another TAB would show all CLOCK entries.
The next TAB would close the block again.

The variable could configure:

"show the first n entries of the BLOCK"
"show the last n entries of the BLOCK"
"show the first n and last m entries of the BLOCK"


Regards,
Rainer
