(org-global-cycle) cycles the visibility among OVERVIEW --> CONTENTS --> ALL it accepts an optional argument, but whatever I put in the argument (number, string, whatever) has the effet of setting visibility to OVERVIEW, e.g..

What I mostly wanted was to write an interactive defun that would switch to an org buffer and then automatically set the visibility (either the global visibility or the visibility of the active subtree) to an arbitrary desired level. org-cycle does not seem to be a reliable way to do this because you can't just pass the desired visibility level as an argument -- or at least, I an't figure out how to do this. The same is true for org-global-cycle. I'm not sure, does that clarify what I'm asking?

The only way I see is to set this desired level as a property for the entries, then to let your defun act depending on this property. See the Org manual (2.3 Visibility cycling): Furthermore, any entries with a 'VISIBILITY' property (*note Properties and Columns::) will get their visibility adapted accordingly. Allowed values for this property are 'folded', 'children', 'content', and 'all'. 'C-u C-u <TAB>' ('org-set-startup-visibility') Switch back to the startup visibility of the buffer, i.e., whatever is requested by startup options and 'VISIBILITY' properties in individual entries. > org-cycle does not seem to be a > reliable way to do this because you can't just pass the desired > visibility level as an argument -- or at least, I an't figure out how > to do this.

Yes.. but I'm not sure I can think of a solution, manipulating visibility states is a bit daunting. -- Bastien ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
