WDYT? totally disagree. i totally rely on showing inactive timestamps. in fact, i created a face for inactive timestamps. i also do this: (setq org-agenda-inactive-leader "Inactive: ") to better match Closed: and Clocked:. i keep logs like this: ********* CONVERSATION [#C] [2017-01-28 Sat 20:16] org changed its coloring for nokori, so past due shows tomorrow which show up nicely. in fact, sometimes i do: ***** DONEKEEP [2017-08-27 Sun 12:52] sent email instead of doneifying. showing closed tasks and donekeep at the same time makes sense to me. all of this keeps a record and can be sorted nicely in the outline with visual binary search, much better than date trees for me. i quite often will run agenda agenda on a restricted file, so that i can get all active timestamps, and closed timestamps, and clocking timestamps, and inactive timestamps for inside the restriction. this gets sorted correctly, by timestamp. so i can see the active, closed, and clocking timestamps in context with my notes. that is totally key for me. missing inactive timestamps would violate the idea that i can bounce around the agenda agenda at various dates to see what i did on those dates. for example, i go back 4 days to see what i did 4 days ago, and i see a record of everything, including random insertions of inactive timestamps, donekeep, conversation, closed, and clocked. this feels like an essential org feature to me. i run agenda search also, to find relevant timestamps. inactive are much more common than active. being able to see my logs with inactive timestamps in context with active timestamps and closed timestamps and clocking is useful. -- The Kafka Pandemic: <http://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.com> The disease DOES progress.
