Yeah, it would be nice to have something that folds the tree back to its 
original state after the ediff! (excitement)

Ediff org files starts folded

[Alex Branham]

Hello -

Whenever I ediff an org file, the three windows start with the content folded and out of site. I have to navigate to windows A, B, and C and hit S-<TAB> until everything is visible. Does anyone know a way to start org mode files unfolded when ediffing them?

Thanks!
Alex

I've wondered the same thing. Normally I just manually <S-TAB> and 
open all bullets before ediffing, but this assumes, of course, 
that the file is already open.

Spacemacs automatically unfolds both buffers when ediff’ing Org Mode.  I
suppose the mechanism is the presence of ~'show-all~ in
~ediff-prepare-buffer-hook~.  The downside is that, when you finish
ediff’ing, the affected Org buffers are still completely unfolded.

If you want this behavior, perhaps you should use the new function name
– ~outline-show-all~ – instead, because ~show-all~ is an obsolete alias
since GNU Emacs 25.1.

Here's what I use:

(defun ora-ediff-prepare-buffer ()
  (when (memq major-mode '(org-mode emacs-lisp-mode))
    (outline-show-all)))

(add-hook 'ediff-prepare-buffer-hook 'ora-ediff-prepare-buffer)

regards,
Oleh

Thanks, I think this does exactly what I was looking for!

Thank you! This works very well for me. It's been on my TODO list to
figure out how to do this for a while.
