I routinely use inactive timestamps during long tasks to document when
items occurred. I use inactive timestamps because I don't want to
litter my agenda view during normal use.
However I recently discovered the agenda timeline view, which is a
great way for me to review when things occurred. The flip side is that
I'm not seeing details because of my use of inactive timestamps.
Could a toggle be added to turn on/off viewing of inactive timestamps?
I don't want to clutter my normal agenda view, but have the ability to
turn on detail if needed.
Thanks.

I am afraid this is going to be hard, the use of active timestamps is
quite strongly hardcoded. I have made a not on my todo list, but I a
not optimistic.

My interest was only in the logfile mode. I was perusing the source,
and it looks like most of it is abstracted through regexps, except one
hard ref in the agenda code.
I also found the timestamp toggle that I was previously unaware
of. Perhaps I'll just do a global replace if I need to see a file by
timestamps.
On the other hand, I think that viewing by timestamp is a great
feature. Active timestamps that trigger appointments are great, but
again the original reason I didn't use them was to prevent clutter.
Thanks.

This is not what you were asking for, but you do know that you can press
"l" in the timeline buffer to get displayed when an entry was closed,
and when it was clocked?

Hi Russel, I took another look, and it turned out to be a lot simpler
than I
had thought.
What you can do now (latest git push), in both agenda and timeline:
- press "l" to get CLOCK and CLOSED timestamps listed (this is not new)
- press "[" to get any other entries related to inactive timestamps.
There is no mode for getting this permanently, and I dont think
that this
is really what you or anybody would want. But you can now look at
these additional timestamps when the need arises.
Please give it a try and let me know if you find it useful, and if
things
work as intended.

Thats great! I'll give it a try.
You got the right idea, its not the kind of thing you want to always
see. But when you consistently timestamp items, its potentially useful.
Thanks.
