Hi Org-mode Community,
I can't get the example in section 7.1 of the org-mode manual to work as I
expect. Perhaps someone can help me see what I'm doing wrong.
I tried creating this buffer:
* CD collection
** Classic
:PROPERTIES:
:GENRES: Classic
:END:
*** Goldberg Variations
:PROPERTIES:
:Title: Goldberg Variations
:Composer: J.S. Bach
:Artist: Glen Gould
:Publisher: Deutsche Grammophon
:NDisks: 1
:GENRES+: Baroque
:END:
Then I set the org-use-property-inheritance variable to include GENRES.
Then I wrote the following function
(defun bill-test (property)
"print all inheirited properties"
(interactive "MProperty: ")
(message (concat property " = " (org-entry-get (point) property t))))
Which prints "GENRES = Baroque" when I run it with the point on Goldberg
Variations, based on the manual I expected this to print "GENRES = Classic
Baroque”.
While I think they should all do the same thing, I also tried the following
ways of calling org-entry-get just in case all with the same result.
(org-entry-get (point) property 'selective)
(org-entry-get nil property t)
(org-entry-get nil property 'selective)
I'm using org-version 7.8.09 on Windows with emacs "GNU Emacs 23.3.1
(i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601) of 2011-03-10 on 3249CTO".
Any pointers about what I'm doing wrong would be great.
Thanks,
~>Bill
