hiding the PROPERTIES drawer

hiding the PROPERTIES drawer

[Randomcoder]

Hi,

Is there an easier solution to hiding the :PROPERTIES: drawer by default ?
I was reading through this [1] but it's extremely complicated and I would
like to use this but.. currently it's absent from org-mode.

What do you use for this ?
(Btw, I mainly want to hide the PROPERTIES drawer because of the ID that's
always there for me. I need the ID to be there, but I don't want to see it,
and so I would prefer the drawer to be hidden/folded)

I'm not sure that a solution is needed.  In my setup (Org master branch,
Emacs 23), the PROPERTIES drawer is always folded by default.  I've
never done anything to make this happen; as far as I know, it's the
default behavior in Org.

So: is there something in your setup that's causing the drawer NOT to be
folded?  (Try loading Org in emacs -Q, then see if property drawers are
folded by default or not.)

If you need help finding out what's responsible, send us more specific
information about your Org version and configuration.

Do you need the drawer to be hidden, or is having it folded enough?

I think he meant completely hiding the property drawer, so it wouldn't even be a one-liner.

This is not possible. Completely hiding data in a document sounds very
wrong, anyway.

Even with an overlay ?

Sounds odd at least.
