Re: [O] Bug: Repeated tasks not shown from org-timeline [9.0 (9.0-dist @ c:/wlin/.emacs-lisp/org/lisp/)]

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.
