I have been using the branch for some time now and they seem to work fine. Fantastic job. I have to say at first I thought they were not working and it was because I had a preconception that they would do something else: I thought that what was sticky was the different views of a *single* agenda. For example, say you are in the week view of the agenda. I was expecting Org to remember the rendering of each week as you move from one week to another instead of recomputing each view each time (which if you have large org files is quite slow). I then realized of course that what was sticky was the different agenda views (todos, agendas, etc.). And rereading the manual it is obvious now that this is exactly what it says, so no complaints there of course. But, would it be possible to achieve the behavior I had mistakenly assumed? Going back to the week view example, Org would remember the rendering of each week as you move from one week to another, not recomputing a week that has already been visited. The different weeks would be kept in different buffers (called, e.g., *Org Agenda (*). All these buffers would be recomputed only when g is typed. It woudl work the same with, say, day view. I at least would find that *very* useful (but I do not know how much more complicated it is than the current stickiness). Cheers, Manuel --
