About the new directory org-persist in .emacs.d

About the new directory org-persist in .emacs.d

[Angelo Graziosi]

After the last build from master I found this `org-persist` in `.emacs.d`..

Really we need that directory? Which is its usefulness?

So far editing `ORG` docs worked fine also without that folder, I don't notice any difference since it showed up in my `.emacs.d` folder, and I would be grateful if I can avoid its creation.. How?

TIA,
  Angelo.

Perhaps etc/ORG-NEWS would help:

*** Element cache persists across Emacs sessions

The cache state is saved between Emacs sessions.  Enabled by default.

The cache persistence can be controlled via
~org-element-cache-persistent~.

Ok. I removed that folder (`rm`) then added 

(setq org-element-cache-persistent nil)

to my init.el file.. and it is recreated!

So, How I can disable the creation of that garbage from my .emacs.d directory?

I don't really know, but I'd suggest looking at the documentation and the
code.

Customizable variables that could be related: `org-persist-directory',
`org-persist-remote-files', `org-persist-default-expiry'.

If that doesn't help, I'd recommend asking in Org-specific forums.

Yes, please ask Org-specific questions on the Org list first.

BTW, I discovered this thread: https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-orgmode/2021-10/msg00644.html which confirms this feature does not introduce any benefit but only garbage that I have not yet been able to remove with init.el setting...

That's not the conclusion I reach after reading that thread.

That doesn't really disable it but try no-littering to keep your
.emacs.d clean.

You can get an extra point in keeping  you $HOME clean by using
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/emacs to store your init.el.

I doubt there is a clean way to disable that.. BTW on GNU/Linux that folder is created under `.cache`...

Thanks! it seems to work.. I had to remove two extra `))` at the end of the last row..

     M-x org-submit-bug-report

See https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html

org-element cache is intended to improve performance in the case of 
large Org files.

No performance improvement is visible here...

Do you mean that things are slow for you? If yes, it would help if you
report what is slow. We can improve things.

No, I did not mean that. In my case things work just fine and your changes brings only garbage in .emacs.d (on Windows) and in .cache (on GNU/Linux), so I asked I to revert/disable the creation of this `org-persist` folder, and YOU didn't answer...

This is a `sine qua non` to continue using ORG. Maybe I revert Emacs itself to my previous build..

I just read (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2022-12/msg00052.html) there is someone else with the same opinions/requests as me...

No, please report an Org bug first.
