Hi all, Here is something I find very confusing. In [1]:
#+STARTUP: overview #+STARTUP: content #+STARTUP: showall #+STARTUP: show<n>levels #+STARTUP: showeverything In org-startup-folded docstring it is said that it takes values equivalent to: #+STARTUP: fold (or ‘overview’, this is equivalent) #+STARTUP: nofold (or ‘showall’, this is equivalent) #+STARTUP: content #+STARTUP: show<n>levels (<n> = 2..5) #+STARTUP: showeverything The fact that "overview" is also called "fold" doesn't make what follows simpler, but so far so good. Then there is the function org-overview, which: Switch to overview mode, showing only top-level headlines. But org-overview shows drawers unfolded while "overview" mode folds drawers at startup. That is, if you start in "fold" or "overview" mode (as in #+STARTUP or org-startup-folder) and then cycle visibility all the way back to "overview" (now as in org-overview) you're not at the beginning again. I would say that this is not intentional but an inconsistency in what "overview" means that should be resolved some way or another. For me it makes sense that drawers begin folded in an overview and the docstring of org-overview seems to suggest that. Moreover, while cycling the rest of the "more expanded" visibility states fold drawers. And sometimes properties represent a disproportionate part of the document when compared to folded top-level headlines. For example, I'm thinking of brief org-roam notes showing an awful UUID at the top which is IMO not relevant to an overview.
