Hello Ihor, I have just the second patch you sent me in my org code, not the first patch as I couldn't apply both because of a conflict. Since then the only warning messages I'm getting are ones like this: Warning (emacs): Emacs reader failed to read data in "~/.cache/org-persist//gc-lock.eld". The error was: "End of file during parsing" I'm not getting all the helpful debugging information. Paul
