Hmm, I don't see any easy solution for the above. I'm sorry to have
removed this functionality.
I can think of three options for how to handle this situation.
1. If it turns out to be possible/desirable my preferred solution here
would be to add general property support for appending values to
properties when properties are over specified rather than simply
replacing the value. Perhaps this could be done with a variable like
org-accumulating-properties which could hold a list of those
properties which should accumulate values rather than overwriting
them.
2. Adding a "#+PROPERTY:" line authoring helper similar to the table
formula helper making it more natural to edit such long property
lines.
3. It may be possible to add syntax for extending #+PROPERTY:
specifications across multiple lines, something like
#+PROPERTY: var MAINVERSION=0,
#+PROPERTY+: SVNVERSION=(vc-working-revision (buffer-file-name)),
#+PROPERTY+: SVNSTATE=( symbol-name (vc-state (or (buffer-file-name)
org-current-export-file))),
#+PROPERTY+: SVNSTATENUM=(if (eq (vc-state (or (buffer-file-name)
org-current-export-file)) 'up-to-date) 0 13),
#+PROPERTY+: DISP_PACKAGE="seedDisp_0.4-13.tar.gz"
FWIW I would like to have a similar extender for #+TBLFM: lines.
Actually this choice may be my preferred solution.
What do you think?
