But I'd strongly suggest making nil the default value. I find the current setting strongly unintuitive (unless one read the manual, that is;)), and not really needed (at least for me). If I have the export results in a separate buffer or file, why would I need them in the kill ring? Besides, I often want to do something like this: kill a fragment of my buffer (usually some option, but not necessarily), export the file, decide that I preferred the previous version, and yank it back. Obviously, I can use undo - but what about yanking it in another place, for instance?

I guess the default value is a left-over from the time when the HTML export was just a quick hack, targetting users who want to export small Org buffer and copy that into another (bigger) HTML file. Not sure. > Besides, I often want to do something like this: kill a fragment > of my buffer (usually some option, but not necessarily), export the > file, decide that I preferred the previous version, and yank it back. > Obviously, I can use undo - but what about yanking it in another place, > for instance? I don't know any other place than the kill-ring, but setting `org-export-copy-to-kill-ring' to nil should solve the problem, already, no? -- Bastien ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Well, yes - it did it for me, at least. But it required setting the option. And I suspect that what the majority of users might need/expect is having this option set to nil - that was what I meant. BTW, I also think that Org is awesome.
