for cleaning logbook entries, i'd enjoy having an agenda view that shows every entry that has state changes [above a minimum number of them to keep it small], with the size of the logbook drawer in the prefix or so next to the category, sorted by that size.
there would be a corresponding agenda batch command that would archive, delete, or archive all except most recent for the marked entries. is it the number of headlines in a file or the total number in agenda files? i think it's great to have org-ql. lispy query is great. although mostly i just use text search, it would be more memorizable syntax for tags type search [and custom sorts?]. is this a suitable start for agenda-ng? will it be cleaner and faster? another speedup possibility might be to allow redoing the agenda with a new sorting strategy without having to redo the scanning of agenda files. i agree not scanning unchanged buffers could really speed up the agenda in principle. [it'd be great if emacs could parallelize across smp cores in addition. :]] On 10/10/18, Marcin Borkowski <mb...@mbork.pl> wrote: > > On 2018-10-08, at 09:20, Michael Welle <mwe012...@gmx.net> wrote: > >> Hello, >> >> Marcin Borkowski <mb...@mbork.pl> writes: >> >>> Hi Orgers, >>> >>> my agenda takes almost 10 seconds to show up.
