Excerpts from Dan Davison's message of Mon May 18 09:07:11 +0300 2009:
I think it's more complicated than that: source code loss is also the
motivation for doing something like this. If you are editing the
code in
the *Org Edit Src* buffer, and get distracted, you may return to
the org
buffer and mistakenly decide that it contains the latest content.
I've
done that two or three times in the last couple of days, resulting in
lost work. That mistake cannot be made so easily when there is only
ever
one current copy of the code. If you close emacs without C-c ', or
your
laptop power runs out, then I agree that is bad, but I thought
perhaps
there might be a good solution along these lines. Maybe an
alternative
would be to maintain a work-in-progress message along with the
out-of-date code?
How about this - set the source code with a special overlay/property
when editing it. The property could turn the code into a link to the
buffer and set it read-only.
OK, the source code in the Org buffer is now highlighted while
being edited, and you can click on it to go back to the
editing buffer. I hope that does solve you problems, Dan?
It is not yet read-only, but this feels like an Emacs bug, because I
do set read-only in the overlay.
