Those buffers not modified by hand are not tagged as "changed", so you
are not prompted to save them. Having said that, I take your point about
not worrying about over population of the Plans directory. It was more
me in "QA/try everything mode" than caused my eyebrows to raise at so
many effectively empty or redundant  files being generated.

But you already do - physical pages are created which didnt exist before
in order to only display a diary entry (which is sourced from .diary
anyway) - my only suggestion was that these were not saved or prompted
to be saved unless manually altered- they only appear as a "preview" if
you like. But anyway, as I said, it's not a big issue since I've stopped
peering into the Plans directory now and only rely on the planner
interface.

Just to ask once more in case I missed it : whats the best way to
see all open tasks (past, present and future) regardless of whether they have
a date assigned?
