Could you confirm it? Yes, fixed, thank you! BTW, now that I'm actually using the new exporter, (despite my complaints at first) I find it an improvement over the old beamer exporter. The org representation of the LaTeX structure seems cleaner and more consistent. While I would have liked to use my old presentations without much editing, it's well worth the effort. A concrete example: Often, I want to have a column of bullet list on the left and an image on the right. In the old exporter, the columns had to be marked by headlines, which produced a bullet point. So then, I had to display silly things like: > Screenshot ( ">" represents the bullet) Image below In the new exporter, a column is still a headline, but that turns into a block and a headline is hidden. So this: *** Right column (screenshot) :BMCOL: :PROPERTIES:... [[./img/whatever.png]] Displays perfectly cleanly, no extra junk in the PDF. (And the image even inherits the column width, which the old exporter did not do nicely IIRC.) TL;DR -- I take back most of what I said before :) hjh
