Hi,
org mode has apparently been rewritten somehow. At least I noticed a few differences
after updating to the new Debian version. For instance, it got much faster. GREAT!
There is one feature however that I really miss: It used to be that I could add an entry
with a certain number of stars in the first line, and then 'org-global-cycle' using S-TAB
would allow to make all the headlines visible only up to that many stars. For instance,
a file with
*** -
* 1
Text 1
** 2
Text 2
*** 3
Text 3
**** 4
Text 4
after one or two S-TAB (depending on the initial folding state) would look like
*** -
* 1
** 2
*** 3
without the 4-star headline visible. If I remove one star in the first line and type
S-TAB once or twice, then it looks like
** -
* 1
** 2
I found that a convenient way of controlling the depth of the CONTENT view (I believe it
is called). That does not work any more. Typing S-TAB once or twice leads to the
CONTENTS view that shows all headlines, no matter how many stars and independently of the
first line.
I have read that I can get the desired behavior with a numerical argument. So, I have a
work around. GREAT!
However, I find it inconsistent, that 'org-global-cycle' and 'org-cycle' work
differently. The latter shows the old behavior (GREAT!), but can apparently not be
controlled directly with a numerical argument, while for the former it is the other way
around.
I suggest, to enable the trick with the first line for both 'org-global-cycle' and
'org-cycle' and to also enable overwriting this with a numerical argument.
Here is an example for 'org-cycle'
* 1
*** -
** A
*** Aa
Text
** B
*** Ba
**** Ba1
Text
Typing TAB once or twice (depending on the initial folding state) on the main headline (*
1) yields the view:
* 1
*** -
** A
*** Aa
** B
*** Ba
If I remove one star in the second line (*** -), typing TAB yields
* 1
** -
** A
** B
So, that still works. But a numerical argument has no effect. However, I found that C-c
TAB (org-show-children) does this, but why not just numerical argument plus TAB, like for
S-TAB?
Anyhow, I am extremely grateful for the org-mode and I use it daily. Thanks a lot.
Best,
Laurenz Wiskott.

This was not documented and caused by implementation detail.

It is a bug in `org-fold-show-children'. The reason your example works
has nothing to do with what the function intends to do.
Fix is attached.

Subject: [PATCH] org-fold-show-children: Only display direct children by
default
* lisp/org-fold.el (org-fold-show-children): Clarify the docstring
emphasizing that direct children are always displayed. Fix
grandchildren being displayed when the first child has deeper level
than the next children.
