Hello all, >From one of the recent threads (on producing latex files for ACM publications), I was finally motivated to try the new export engine. I have run into a small problem: org-export-dispatch fails if the file is read only. I often have read only files as I use RCS as my version control system for one-off standalone files (as opposed to git or mercurial for larger projects).
Specifically, I have added (require 'org-export) (require 'org-e-latex) to my org customisation. Then, while visiting a read only file, I try M-x org-export-dispatch RET p and I get the error: ,---- | org-refresh-category-properties: Buffer is read-only: #<buffer proposal.org> `---- This doesn't happen if I use the old exporter (C-c C-e p). Also, the error does not appear if I try the new export engine on a writable file. Toggling debug-on-error doesn't actually put me in the debugger when the error occurs, by the way. I *think* am running an up to date org (from an hour or so ago) but the org-version information (auto-generated for my signature) seems confused... but maybe that's a problem for another day?
