Hi, people. I doubt there is an easy solution, but here I go nevertheless.
Many of my Org notes are published to the Web, which have :noexport: headers. It is very convenient that Org allows me to keep all parts together, whether parts are published or not, in a single Org file. There is some machinery on my side involved into publication, which I would rather avoid if not necessary. My little problem is that Org checks the file time stamp, and Emacs does not distinguish, of course, if I modify a part which is within a :noexport: region. The only idea I got (but I did not really torture me into this yet!) is to maintain a kind of a cache of files before edit, and write a specialized file comparator that would re-establish previous time stamps when nothing publishable has been changed. Any clever idea, someone? :-) François
