* Exporting to HTML opens resulting file

It seems that when I export to HTML, something, somewhere, opens the
file so I have yet another buffer open. Is there any way to configure
that behaviour so that I don't get even more swamped by buffers than I
am already, or alternatively automatically name the buffer with
something that I can instruct ido to ignore (setq ido-ignore-buffers
...)? Using org-mode 6.21b in emacs 23.1 if it makes any difference.

(setq org-export-kill-product-buffer-when-displayed t)

will do this when the exported file is shown immediately, so
the buffer will be removed during `C-c C-e b', but not during `C-c C-e  
h'

I guess we could have a variable that always removes the buffer.....

Aha!

Err... what exactly does "browse immediately" mean? I am guessing it
uses the browse-url-browser-function to open the produced page in a
browser? In my case that points to Firefox, and indeed I can `C-c C-o'
on a link in a .org file and it opens nicely. Nothing browser-like
happens if I `C-c C-e b', however...

*choke*

Well, not for me. I mean, I *do* want to export and then look at the
result, hence I don't want the "product buffer" open as well. I just
wasn't aware of this connection between "browse immediately" and
killing the product buffer. It doesn't seem that
org-export-kill-product-buffer-when-displayed exists in the version I
have, however :-(

Hi Gary,

maybe we need to settle some terminology first.

When Org-mode exports, is is actually producing the product in a  
buffer.  So the buffer is there first.  When it is complete, the  
buffer is written to a file, but stays in Emacs - so we now have a  
buffer visiting the file on the disk.

So if you are exporting in order to produce the file, you may not want  
to keep the buffer.  That is a perfectly reasonable request.  Of  
course, sometimes you might want to look at the buffer - in that case  
you'd want to keep it.

So there is no general solution for this.

The variable org-export-kill-product-buffer-when-displayed has the  
following effect: Some export commands do not only produce the export  
file, but immediately display it with an appropriate viewer.  For  
example, `C-c C-e b' should open your browser.
And `C-c C-e d' should produce a PDF file and open it with a PDF  
viewer (not sure if this did work in the quite old version of Org-mode  
you have).
If immediate opening does not work, something funny if going on.  This  
should work.

HTH

Hi Carsten,

I've tried to set:
(setq org-export-kill-product-buffer-when-displayed t)

But when I use "org-export-as-html" to export HTML, I can still see the
.html buffer. Am I missing something here?

Thanks!
Xin

Xin, from your email I couldn't determine the org-version you're using.
I believe a /recent/ version would be required for this variable to work.

I'm using the nightly build ""6.34trans"" dated  "2010_02_25"; I find
things to work fine
- .html buffer does not linger around with
C-e C-x b

Yes, you are not reading what I write :-)

Try org-export-as-html-and-open.

Right. And neither that, not `M-x org-export-as-html-and-open' work
(or at least, they only work the same as the non-browse commands:
output is produced, but no browser is opened). There's no indication
of errors or problems in the *Messages* buffer either:

Strange.

Only one way to find out, by debugging the function and watch why the  
file opening does not work  Nothing I can do from here without a  
Backtrace or error message of some sort.
