new website: not easy to find how to ask for help
Dear all, I love the new front page to the org website, especially the annotated example! Minor criticism however: it is very difficult (for a new user) to find how to ask for help. The community tab doesn't tell the reader the mailing list address and the manual says nothing at all about this. A new user may not wish to join a mailing list that may look intimidating and so will not follow the "subscribe to the list" link. I wanted to point somebody to instructions on how to ask for help and couldn't do so easily. A suggestion: at minimum, add the mailing list address to the community page so that a reader does not have to go to the subscribing page to find that out; better yet, make it visible on the front page? thank you, eric -- : Eric S Fraga via Emacs 28.0.50, Org release_9.4-143-g9a1549

[org-save-all-org-buffers] Saving is not reliable?
Hello forum, I start noticing some time ago that saving org-mode buffers works unreliably in my setup. Most of the time I am using function `org-save-all-org-buffers' from core org. Unfortunately I don't have a good reproduction scenarios of this bug. In fact I don't have reproduction scenario at all. It just happens sometimes: I am sure I saved all org buffers I had, then restart emacs and then I see that some changes were not actually saved. Possibly there is something wrong in my customisations. But without a reproduction scenario, I don't see a way to prove it. However, after I made a tiny change to the function, I stopped seeing these problems at all. Here is the fix I have applied: , | diff --git a/lisp/org.elf b/lisp/org.el | index df3f377f6..448dc4a88 100644 | --- a/lisp/org.el | +++ b/lisp/org.el | @@ -15229,7 +15229,9 @@ The value is a list, with zero or more of the symbols `effort', `appt', |"Save all Org buffers without user confirmation." |(interactive) |(message "Saving all Org buffers...") | - (save-some-buffers t (lambda () (derived-mode-p 'org-mode))) | + (save-some-buffers t (lambda () | + (and (derived-mode-p 'org-mode) | + (not (buffer-base-buffer) |(when (featurep 'org-id) (org-id-locations-save)) |(message "Saving all Org buffers... done")) ` My theory was that `save-some-buffers' may work unreliably with indirect buffers, so I've excluded them from the saving. Again, I have tried to prove it by using indirect buffer and saving it instead of base buffer. But it worked without a problem. So even if my theory is correct, bug not reproducing every time. Nevertheless I am having this change already for two weeks and I don't have reproduction of this bug. Previously I've noticed loosing data every day or so. I don't suggest to apply this patch, but may be someone have\had the same problem or have a deeper insight how indirect buffers work and why my fix may be a working solution? Kind regards, Mikhail Skorzhinskii
Re: [PATCH] Persistently save downloaded inline remote images
> Jack, as the author of the org-display-remote-inline-images commit, what > do you think about this patch? This patch takes the same approach as an earlier attempt by Kit in 2014 [1]. That patch was never merged; Michael objected that the approach seemed too complex, and suggested using file-local-copy and cacheing the filename instead; he also suggested implementing this cacheing functionality in Tramp instead of Org. So, when I submitted a new attempt at this, I chose to cache by simply opening the image files in Emacs instead, since the implementation is much simpler, and would hopefully sidestep the objections from the 2014 approach. While cacheing via tempfiles is more complex, it does have some benefits: it allows cacheing across Emacs sessions, and it avoids the side effect of opening the image files in Emacs. I'm agnostic whether tempfiles or Emacs buffers are ultimately better. My inclination is to be conservative and stick with the status quo unless there's a compelling reason to switch. So, I suggest Ferdinand confirm he's tested the existing "cache" option, and articulate why he found it unsuitable, before merging this. If we do proceed in this direction, I'd suggest replacing the current cache mechanism entirely -- I don't see a good reason to maintain 2 solutions to the same problem. Also, we could combine the "download" and "cache" options into a single implementation, making them synonyms for backwards compatibility.

Allow to set :follow link parameter for "file" links
Hi all, For some time I have been using the suggestion by John Kitchin at: https://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2016/11/04/New-link-features-in-org-9/#orgc074278 to "improve" the file link. Since upgrading org mode it no longer works. I believe it was caused by the changes introduced with commit: afd3b04ec Perhaps there is a better way to do this now?
