Hi list, whenever I use
M-x org-table-export inside a table, the buffer is marked "modified". This is even the case if no modifications are done to the buffer by exporting the table. This problem happens since at least two years and possibly longer and persists with the current git version of org-mode. As it is quite annoying in my workflow, I tried to investigate the problem. Looking at the definition of org-table-export in lisp/org-table.el the problem seems to be that the line (org-table-align) ; Make sure we have everything we need. which seems to always set the modified flag, irrespective of real changes being done. When I comment out this line or surround it with (org-with-silent-modifications ... ), then the buffer remains clean. However both solutions likely introduce other problems. I guess the proper solution would be to improve org-table-align to not unnecessarily set the "modified" flag, but I would not know how to do this. Regards, Andreas
