Hello,
I am giving a presentation tomorrow. I am not panicked because I have a
PDF of my presentation generated using the old exporter a couple of
weeks ago. However, as a stress test, I thought I would try to convert
this presentation to work with the new exporter. I have run into a
problem.
The problem is annoyingly non-reproducible on demand! A block that I
have indicated should be in a column, e.g.:
#+begin_src org
*** gui :BMCOL:B_ignoreheading:
:PROPERTIES:
:BEAMER_col: 0.25
:BEAMER_env: ignoreheading
:END:
[[file:somefigures]]
#+end_src
will sometimes be exported within a column specification
(i.e. \begin{column}...\end{column}) but sometimes it won't and I have
not been able to identify what makes this happen. Changing the block
type from =ignoreheading= to =block=, say, sometimes makes it work but
not always. In any case, I don't want the heading.
Note: the above is an excerpt. As I have said, I cannot create an
example that always illustrates the problem.
Can anybody (Nicolas?) suggest how to track this down?
I also have a simple question that I'm sure has been answered in this
list but I've not yet found the answer and apologies for that: how do I
add options to the \begin{frame} line, such as [shrink=10] say? I have
tried the BEAMER_envargs property and also #+ATTR_latex or #+ATTR_beamer
specifications. Nothing seems to make a difference.
If I can sort these two things out, my 40+ slide presentation with quite
complex slides will have been exported perfectly!
Thanks,
eric

Apologies for the noise on this item! I finally got my brain around to
considering looking at the source where Nicolas has some very helpful
documentation. The BEAMER_opt property is what I needed!

And, again <blush>, apologies for the noise. I think I have sorted this
out. The ignoreheading environment now means something quite different
from what it meant with the old exporter. What I want, which used to
require the specification of the ignoreheading environment, is achieved
by not specifying a block type at all.
It would appear, if I understand the documentation in ox-beamer.el
correctly, that an ignoreheading block environment is incompatible with
a column specification. If this is so, it would be nice if the exporter
would indicate an error of some sort or if the beamer minor mode would
catch this; it might not be easy to do the latter, mind you.
Thanks and sorry again for all the noise. My presentation is now ready
in all its glory ;-)

Your understanding is correct. But, I see no ambiguity about the
relation between "ignoreheading" and "columns" in the documentation (it
is written that an "ignoreheading" explicitly closes a "columns"
environment)
On a related topic, I'd like to define some behaviour for combinations
like "ignoreheading + BEAMER_act". Hence:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Headline :ignoreheading:
:PROPERTIES:
:BEAMER_env: ignoreheading
:BEAMER_act: 2-
:END:
Contents
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
should make contents appear outside of a (visible) block, but only from
the second frame. This isn't the case actually. I'm not sure about what
environment to use for that.

Great.
