Re: [O] Difficulty with repeater timestamps in agenda

[Christian Prothmann]

Hi Nick,

Thanks for the link. I had also set org-agenda-show-all-dates to nil to no avail. I concluded after reading some of the comments in thread that due to the history of timeline, I would best use it to see what has happened in an org-file - more like reviewing your past journal entries - than as a planning tool. Please let me know if you have any further suggestion or comments. Thanks again for your quick feedback.

The OP is talking about the "timeline" in the agenda (C-c a L). This has
been discussed before on the mailing list and it does indeed have the
problem the OP mentions.  The upshot however (afaik) is that "timeline"
is considered obsolete functionality.  There may be different ways to
accomplish what the OP wants however.  See e.g. the extensive thread at
