Hello,
For standalone org files that are not part of any larger project, I
often use RCS as my revision control system. RCS will make a file
read-only when you /check in/ changes, waiting for the user to
/check out/ the file explicitly for further changes. I like the way
this works.
Org, however, doesn't! ;-)
If I have a read-only file, I can export the whole file (say to HTML)
and it works. If, however, I select a region and try to export that,
org fails with the error message:
: org-export-get-title-from-subtree: Buffer is read-only: #<buffer test.org>
This appears to be because of this function adding text properties (a
specific one which I don't understand completely) to the text:
: (org-unmodified
: (add-text-properties (point) (1+ (point-at-eol))
: (list :org-license-to-kill t)))
(in org-exp.el). It would be nice if export would work with read-only
files but I have no idea where to start in trying to fix this.
Obviously, this bug (feature?) is *not* a show-stopper!
Thanks,
eric
