(note: untested in -Q.) assuming log mode is set to show closed tasks: - if it was UNSCHEDULED and done, it will show in log mode. - if it was SCHEDULED and done, it will not show in log mode. this absence might get lost. you might notice closed tasks, and not notice that you turned off scheduled tasks. =3D=3D=3D i doubt that many want to skip scheduled done tasks in log mode, especially when unscheduled done tasks show. imagine a user with a "memacs type mindset". he or she would probably be surprised that this variable omits items from log mode. it seems impossible to skip without also affecting log mode. my suggested fix is a new or changed non-nil value to skip without changing log mode. --=20 The Kafka Pandemic: The disease DOES progress.
