Hi List, 

many files on Worg have this startup option:

,--------------------------
| +STARTUP:    ... fold ...
`--------------------------

what leads to trouble when there is a merge-conflict in (Ma)git to be
resolved manually with e(diff), because the different versions of the
Org-file are then presented in folded state in the ediff session, so the
diffs are invisible.

But when I call 'show-all' or so on them, it breaks the ediff session. 
Is there a simple trick to avoid this problem?

PS 
I don't recieve any new messages from my gmane groups any more since
yesterday - am I the only one?

cheers,
Thorsten

Hi,

if I need to ediff two org-files, I just switch their buffers back to fundamental mode temporarily.
Not elegant, but works.

regards, Marc

the problem is, if I call e (ediff) from Magit and want to merge (e.g.)
my branch with the master branch, I don't really have access to both
versions - only to the version from the checked out branch.

ediff then gives me both versions in an ediff session (folded), but if I
try to change major-mode to fundamental I break the ediff session.

You should be able to refresh the ediff session with "!".

But instead of the above I use this for ediff generally, it persists
in Org mode:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (add-hook 'ediff-prepare-buffer-hook 'f-ediff-prepare-buffer-hook-setup)
  (defun f-ediff-prepare-buffer-hook-setup ()
    ;; specific modes
    (cond ((eq major-mode 'org-mode)
           (f-org-vis-mod-maximum))
          ;; room for more modes
          )
    ;; all modes
    (setq truncate-lines nil))
  (defun f-org-vis-mod-maximum ()
    "Visibility: Show the most possible."
    (cond
     ((eq major-mode 'org-mode)
      (visible-mode 1)  ; default 0
      (setq truncate-lines nil)  ; no `org-startup-truncated' in hook
      (setq org-hide-leading-stars t))  ; default nil
     (t
      (message "ERR: not in Org mode")
      (ding))))

I condensed this to the following since I don't use truncate-lines and
org-hide-leading-stars

;; ediff for org-mode files
(add-hook 'ediff-prepare-buffer-hook 
	  (lambda () 
	    (cond ((eq major-mode 'org-mode)
		   (visible-mode 1)))))

But now the problem now is that the visible-mode persists even when I
quit ediff. I tried to find a hook which lets me undo the visible-mode
but I couldn't find an obvious one. There is ediff-quit-hook but this is
done in the ediff-control-buffer.

Maybe after all it might be better to use ediff-select-hook and
ediff-unselect-hook.

Thanks
Christian

I was searching for a similar issue and came upon this list. I have a 
slightly different solution from the ones posted so far.

When doing a diff, each org-mode buffer is fully folded.
For each diff selection, that portion of the tree for each buffer is 
expanded.
When moving to a new diff, the previous portion of the tree is collapsed and 
the area surrounding the new diff location is expanded.

Acknowledgment: Michael Brand's solution was my starting inspiration.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  ;; diff hooks for org mode
  (add-hook 'ediff-select-hook 'f-ediff-org-unfold-tree-element)
  (add-hook 'ediff-unselect-hook 'f-ediff-org-fold-tree)
  ;; Check for org mode and existence of buffer
  (defun f-ediff-org-showhide(buf command &rest cmdargs)
    "If buffer exists and is orgmode then execute command"
    (if buf
        (if (eq (buffer-local-value 'major-mode (get-buffer buf)) 'org-mode)
            (save-excursion (set-buffer buf) (apply command cmdargs)))
      )
    )
    
  (defun f-ediff-org-unfold-tree-element ()
    "Unfold tree at diff location"
    (f-ediff-org-showhide ediff-buffer-A 'org-reveal)  
    (f-ediff-org-showhide ediff-buffer-B 'org-reveal)  
    (f-ediff-org-showhide ediff-buffer-C 'org-reveal)  
    )
  ;;
  (defun f-ediff-org-fold-tree ()
    "Fold tree back to top level"

Thanks for sharing, I will try this out next time I need to use ediff on
Org files.

Thanks for sharing.

Adding this to org-mode (at least in contrib, or worg) would be really cool.

To get the "=>" in narrowed columns of aligned tables out of the way I
changed f-org-vis-mod-maximum in the meantime:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (defun f-org-vis-mod-maximum ()
    "Org visibility: Modify settings to show maximum.
  Useful for e. g. `ediff-prepare-buffer-hook' in Org buffer."
    (interactive)

      (setq truncate-lines nil)
      (visible-mode 1)
      ;; Get the "=>" in narrowed columns of aligned tables out of the way.
      ;; - It is important to also remove the text property "invisible" for

      ;; - Negative site effect to put up with: When the Visible mode is
