c-c c-e 1 a crashes

c-c c-e 1 a crashes

[Samuel Wales]

Perhaps activate-mark is an emacs 23 function.  Emacs 22, latest org.

Also, I was wondering, how often do people export the current file vs.
the current region vs. the current subtree?

I almost always export the current subtree.  I wonder if most other
people are that way also.  If not, how do I make c-c c-e always use a
prefix of 1?

Thanks.

Samuel

That is indeed the reason: I cribbed activate-mark and the variable
select-active-regions from the 23.2 simple.el into an emacs-22.3 session
and the export worked - adding them to your .emacs should presumably be
enough, although there might be other problems that the simple test
would not uncover. Here are the definitions if you want to try:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defcustom select-active-regions nil
  "If non-nil, an active region automatically becomes the window selection."
  :type 'boolean
  :group 'killing
  :version "23.1")

(defun activate-mark ()
  "Activate the mark."
  (when (mark t)
    (setq mark-active t)
    (unless transient-mark-mode
      (setq transient-mark-mode 'lambda))
    (when (and select-active-regions
	       (display-selections-p))
      (x-set-selection 'PRIMARY (current-buffer)))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Not sure whether the :version property of the variable does anything
other than giving information. It seems to be used in the docstring:

,----
| select-active-regions is a variable defined in `simple.el'.
| Its value is nil
| 
| Documentation:
| If non-nil, an active region automatically becomes the window selection.
| 
| You can customize this variable.
| 
| This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in
| version 23.1 of Emacs.
`----

but I don't know if it's used anywhere else.

I generally export whole files, but I don't know how typical my usage is.

I think you would have to hack the org-export function: both the
key-function associations and the handling of the "1" prefix for subtree
limiting are hard-wired in it.

hi nick,

thanks for that work.  can this be put in the core so that everything
will work for everybody?

I don't know.

You can now set `org-export-initial-scope' to 'subtree for this.

Thanks for this idea.

Also, pressing `1' will now switch between buffer/subtree export 
until you select an export command.
