Re: [Orgmode] Bug on file publish

[Sebastian Rose]

Hi,


I tried to use (file-locked-p f) in org-publish-base-files-1,
but I couldn't get it to work.

(file-locked-p "~/notes/index.org") ;; => t if "~/notes/.#index.org" exists.

.#index.org is only there, if I change the file without saving it. It's
removed, if I save the buffer.




A working quick fix:

Instead of
     (not (string-match "^\\.+$" fnd))
use
     (not (string-match "^\\.+" fnd))

in org-publish-base-files-1

Drawbacks:
- we can't export hidden files anymore.
  Or is that a feature?



It might be better to look for locked project files, or those still
opened in emacs, and ask the user to save those files before publishing
them. Unsaved changes in a buffer are not published before saving them
anyway. So a warning would be usefull anyway. A user might be surprised
if unsaved changes are not published, as unsaved changes are exported.




Anyway - here's the little patch:
