Re: saving state of buffer

42,

Try this:
Move the point to some headline.
Press C-c C-x p v <TAB> <ENTER> a <TAB> <ENTER>

Observe how lines, like :PROPERTIES:, were added to your headline.

Press C-u C-u <TAB> to simulate closing the file and reopening it.

I know that this isn't exactly what you're looking for.  You're looking for org-mode to automatically track and save the folding state.  I'd like that, too.  But maybe this VISIBILITY property will suffice for now.

Cheers,
--Dave

This is more convenient than Emacs bookmarks, but still breaks org-mode to
a certain extent: all non top-level headlines below point are hidden. At
least for me.

Apologies on behalf of my inferior cognitive faculty, but I do not see a
solution to my problem in those options (perhaps merely a means to it).

Between OVERVIEW, CONTENT, SHOWALL, SHOWEVERYTHING, which == "allow me to
save and reopen the buffer in its current configuration."

From what I can gather from limited reading comprehension, these are still
general settings, i.e., ALL headlines will be opened; ALL drawers will be
opened; ALL text will be exposed.

What I want is to just have those things exposed that I exposed in my
particular session.

mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Hi Fourtytwo,

(info "(Org)Visibility cycling")

   When Emacs first visits an Org file, the global state is set to
OVERVIEW, i.e., only the top level headlines are visible.  This can be
configured through the variable 'org-startup-folded', or on a per-file
basis by adding one of the following lines anywhere in the buffer:

     #+STARTUP: overview
     #+STARTUP: content
     #+STARTUP: showall
     #+STARTUP: showeverything

   The startup visibility options are ignored when the file is open for
the first time during the agenda generation: if you want the agenda to
honor the startup visibility, set 'org-agenda-inhibit-startup' to nil.

Furthermore, any entries with a 'VISIBILITY' property (*note Properties and
Columns::) will get their visibility adapted accordingly.  Allowed values for
this property are 'folded', 'children', 'content', and 'all'.  'C-u C-u
<TAB>' ('org-set-startup-visibility')
     Switch back to the startup visibility of the buffer, i.e., whatever is
     requested by startup options and 'VISIBILITY' properties in individual
     entries.

HTH,
