Hello,
I constantly run into an annoying side effect of org's handling of
settings in a document. When writing a document for export, usually to
LaTeX, I find myself playing around with the document wide
setting variables, e.g.
#+options: toc:nil
#+latex_header: \usepackage{tikz}
and similar. Org requires me to re-load the document settings by
hitting C-c C-c on any such document setting line. This is fine.
The problem is that org appears to reset *all* variables to default
(custom?) settings. This includes variables that have been set using
file local variables in the given document. Of particular note is the
variable ~org-export-allow-bind-keywords~. I normally have this set to
nil for safety reasons but wish to set this to t in some documents. I
use something like this quite often on documents I *know* are safe:
,----
| # Local Variables:
| # org-confirm-babel-evaluate: nil
| # org-export-allow-bind-keywords: t
| # End:
`----
The problem is that hitting C-c C-c on a settings line clears these
variables. Having the bind one reset is particularly confusing at
times. In the end, I have to kill the buffer and re-visit the file to
have things set up properly.
Is it possible to have org reload the whole file when reloading
settings? Or not reset any variables at all? Either approach would be
exhibit more consistent behaviour possibly? Obviously, the position in
the file would have to be remembered should the file be reloaded
automatically.
This is not a major issue but a niggly one...
Thanks,
eric

Could you try the following patch?

I thought this was fixed, originally with commit 5ea0228
and after York Zhao found a problem (see the thread at
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/79187)
with commit 0911edfac881ab17a2cd1670f169ff4bdf1ac486
and two subsequent commits by Achim to fix some problems:
commit e655e664bff9fb6e98478682f03e713f990acba5
commit f2483ec4bbe196ab29ef6312b0d7c1c179a9eafe
Is this another maint vs master issue perhaps?

Indeed, there were differences between maint and master. Now fixed in both.
