Ediff org files starts folded

Ediff org files starts folded

[Alex Branham]

Hello -

Whenever I ediff an org file, the three windows start with the content folded and out of site. I have to navigate to windows A, B, and C and hit S-<TAB> until everything is visible. Does anyone know a way to start org mode files unfolded when ediffing them?

Thanks!
Alex

I've wondered the same thing. Normally I just manually <S-TAB> and 
open all bullets before ediffing, but this assumes, of course, 
that the file is already open.

Spacemacs automatically unfolds both buffers when ediff’ing Org Mode.  I
suppose the mechanism is the presence of ~'show-all~ in
~ediff-prepare-buffer-hook~.  The downside is that, when you finish
ediff’ing, the affected Org buffers are still completely unfolded.

If you want this behavior, perhaps you should use the new function name
– ~outline-show-all~ – instead, because ~show-all~ is an obsolete alias
since GNU Emacs 25.1.

Here's what I use:

(defun ora-ediff-prepare-buffer ()
  (when (memq major-mode '(org-mode emacs-lisp-mode))
    (outline-show-all)))

(add-hook 'ediff-prepare-buffer-hook 'ora-ediff-prepare-buffer)

Oleh

Thanks, I think this does exactly what I was looking for!

Yeah, it would be nice to have something that folds the tree back to its 
original state after the ediff! (excitement)

Thank you! This works very well for me. It's been on my TODO list to
figure out how to do this for a while.
