Hello, Nick Dokoswrites: > Found it: > > https://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/msg39801.html Next question is: is there any need to keep timeline or could we deprecate it in, e.g., Org 9.1? Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou

i recommend searching for carsten's history of the timeline. it was detailed and possibly includes ideas for emulating it in agenda. part of the issue was that the timeline was invented before some new features, possibly including repeaters, but did not get updated for them. there are also efficiency issues with looping.

Hello, Warren Lynnwrites: > Thanks. I have been using org mode for probably over 10 years, but did not > keep checking the messages. I'm not suggesting that you should have. I just happened to remember Carsten writing about timeline being more or less obsolete. I haven't investigated about it, tho. > The feature is very useful to me.

Also, `org-agenda-show-all-dates' may be used to ignore empty days. In any case, it would be interesting to know what timeline features are really missing so we can add them, if possible, and remove the timeline functionality. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou

Thanks. I have been using org mode for probably over 10 years, but did not keep checking the messages. The feature is very useful to me. Do you have any suggestion how to replicate this with an agenda view (with skipped empty days, especially)? Thanks.

Org Timeline is pretty much deprecated. Carsten pointed out its limitations years ago already (I cannot find the references on the ML, tho). I suggest to stay away from this feature, which ought to be removed at some point. You can probably obtain the same feature with an agenda view restricted to buffer. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
