Re: Confusion about org-confirm-babel-evaluate's behavior while exporting lob calls

["Berry, Charles" via "General discussions about Org-mode." <emacs-orgmode@gnu.org>]

Just on a whim, I changed `org-babel-exp-results' by deleting


  (let (org-confirm-babel-evaluate-NOT)

and the matching right parenthesis.

Now I get a single prompt to confirm evaluation using Ruiyang's ECM.

HTH,
