Something that I thought might be useful when searching in a large file. My implementation is probably very suboptimal. I was hoping to find a way to take a "snapshot" of a sparse tree view, and then "undo" or "redo" a sparse tree view. By undo/redo I mean restoring the visibility states of the trees and the highlighted search text. However I couldn't find a way to get the "snapshot", so I tried repeating the searches to achieve a similar result. I have had time to think since I submitted the patch, maybe its something very specific to how I use org and is probably more appropriate as a local modification and not for inclusion in org (at least not in its current form). > - Carsten Thanks a lot. --=20 Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
