Re: [O] lots of CLOCK lines displayed when opening a TODO

[Leo Ufimtsev]

My Log book drawers are hidden when entries expand. 

But I mapped my C-S-<TAB> to expand logbook drawers so I can peak into them. 
(see snippet below).

I log everything into the logbook. Clocktimes, state changes, dated notes when 
I put an item on hold.
I found it too tedious to move things around. 

Since the logbook is hidden by default, it doesn't get into the way of the rest 
of the task.

(defun my/expand-logbook-drawer ()
 "Expand the closest logbook drawer"
 (interactive)
 (search-forward ":LOGBOOK:")
 (org-cycle)
)

(global-set-key (kbd "<C-iso-lefttab>") 'my/expand-logbook-drawer)


---------- Other drawer related configs:
(local-set-key (kbd "C-:") 'org-insert-drawer)
(org-clock-into-drawer "LOGBOOK")
(org-log-into-drawer t)

(org-drawers

    ("FURTHER_READING" "THEORY" "TASKS" "INFO" "TIP" "NOTE" "EG" "LINKS"

Subject: [O] lots of CLOCK lines displayed when opening a TODO

Hi!

I have lots of weekly reoccuring meetings and do collect the clocked time for 
each meeting.
After a while I have lots of CLOCK lines. Opening the TODO shows all the CLOCK 
lines shown, but my focus is on text below the CLOCK lines.
I started to use multiple LOGBOOK blocks in order to hide older CLOCK lines. 
Seems to work fine with clocking etc.
My requirement would be to only open the first LOGBOOK block when opening the 
headline (TODO).
That way I could hide older entries from using screen space and instead see the 
text below immediately.

Anybody else uses multiple LOGBOOK blocks that way? Other ideas how to work?
Any chance to get this regarded as an enhancement idea?

Thank you.
Regards, Rainer
