This should actually be redundant because all the agenda commands should (if not, it is a bug) open the necessary buffers when calling `org-agenda-prepare'->`org-agenda-prepare-buffers'. By default, `org-agenda-prepare-buffers' applies initial folding, according to the default nil value of `org-agenda-inhibit-startup'. > My workaround for this is to visit every entry in org-agenda-files before > calling org-agenda-list: > > (require 'org-agenda) > (mapc #’find-file-noselect org-agenda-files) > (call-interactively 'org-agenda-list) ... and `org-agenda-list' does call `org-agenda-prepare'... So, may you dig a bit further and check why `org-agenda-prepare' is not opening the agenda files? -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
