modify frame title in beamer export

Hi,

I'd like to modify the frame title in beamer export based on
properties or priority as this is possible in latex export.

In latex export, one can set the variable
org-latex-format-headline-function to the name of a function that
creates the content of the headline. I was able to use this in
latex export.

As beamer export is derived from latex export I had hoped that 
this
would automatically work for beamer export as well, but this
is not the case, the headlines in beamer export are not modified.

A second question is, whether one could also use properties to
format the headlines. The arguments of the user supplied function
include tags, but not properties. 

Thanks,

Martin

I suggest to create a function modifying the headline element in the
parse tree, and add it to `org-export-filter-parse-tree-functions'. This
way, you have access to all properties and what not, and can replace the
headline by whatever you need. E.g., (untested):

    (defun my-beamer-frame-title-filter (ast backend info)
      (cond
       ((not (org-export-derived-backend-p 'beamer)) ast)
       (t
        (org-element-map ast 'headline
          (lambda (h)
            (when (equal (org-export-get-node-property :A h) "foo")
              (org-element-put-property h :title "FOO!")))
          info)
        ast)))

HTH,
