* opening an agenda buffer @ 2006-09-25 16:59 Eddward DeVilla 2006-09-25 18:08 ` Carsten Dominik 0 siblings, 1 reply; 4+ messages in thread From: Eddward DeVilla @ 2006-09-25 16:59 UTC (permalink / raw) To: emacs-orgmode Hi, I've started to play with the agenda buffer and right up front I've hit a bit of a problem. I tend to open really big emacs frames (aka, a big window) and then open up several windows (aka. buffers) in the frame. When I open the agenda buffer, I lose all of my windows and get two windows stacked one above the other with the agenda buffer in the bottom. Is there a way to just open an agenda buffer in the current window and is there a reason why that would be bad? Edd ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

The first reason why it is the way it is: I like it, and nobody had (so far...) complained :-) The second reason: There are, in fact, too many possibilities, including opening an extra, dedicated frame etc. Doing this gets messy, and I am dreading the box of pandora behind supporting all these possibilities. Another reason: When working from the agenda, org-mode often displays something in the "other window", usually the original location of an item in the agenda. How should org-mode know which "other window" to chose for displaying something, if it is not allowed to take over the frame? It is hard to do this in a way that suits everyone. Anyway, now that somebody did complain, I will put some thought into this, but don't expect a completely general, configurable solution. If you have, after reading this, more thoughts about how things should work, please let us know. - Carsten -- Carsten Dominik Sterrenkundig Instituut "Anton Pannekoek" Universiteit van Amsterdam Kruislaan 403 NL-1098SJ Amsterdam phone: +31 20 525 7477 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

When invoking the Angenda-Dispatcher, the program asks itself: "Is there already a buffer *Agenda* opened?". If yes, then don't change any windows/frames configuration but just update the contents of the buffer. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
