Hi, When I export-and-open to odt, org doesn't open the resultant odt, even though I get a message: Running xdg-open /home/matt/RLG231/RLG231Syllabus.odt...done org-open-file works fine on links in an org buffer, and an anser on the following stackoverflow page suggests the issue is in ox-odt.el: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24434854/emacs-org-odt-export-as-odf-and-open-odt-outside-emacs Below is a git diff for the suggested change: diff --git a/lisp/ox-odt.el b/lisp/ox-odt.el index 163f580..80650b1 100644 --- a/lisp/ox-odt.el +++ b/lisp/ox-odt.el @@ -94,7 +94,7 @@ (?O "As ODT file and open" (lambda (a s v b) (if a (org-odt-export-to-odt t s v) - (org-open-file (org-odt-export-to-odt nil s v) 'system)))))) + (org-open-file (org-odt-export-to-odt nil s v) )))))) :options-alist '((:odt-styles-file "ODT_STYLES_FILE" nil nil t) (:description "DESCRIPTION" nil nil newline) ---------------------------- I'm not sure what 'system does in the changed line -- the documentation suggests a non-nil argument here will result in the odt file being opened in a buffer rather than in a browser. Nocolas, others, does this look like a bug? sorry I don't know more. M
