Org-mode version 6.30 (release_6.30); Batch archiving needs to be more clever

Org-mode version 6.30 (release_6.30); Batch archiving needs to be more clever

[Andrew Hyatt]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know hoe to make a good report?  See

     http://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback

Your bug report will be posted to the Org-mode mailing list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Batch archiving mode appears to just try the most obvious thing: take
each tagged member and archive it.  However, it always runs into
problems, because it will archive a parent node, then try and archive
the children.  Not finding the children anymore, it errors out.

Probably an easy solution would be to just gracefully handle this error
by ignoring it and pretending the item was archived.  Alternatively,
updating the list after every operation could also work.

Ideal solution, IMHO: always archive parents first, then clear the
children from the list automatically.

Hi Andrew,

Org does take care of this possibility.  All I get in my simple
test case is the following message:

    Acted on 1 entries, skipped 2 (disappeared before their turn)

That is not an error, it is just feedback.

Or are you really getting an error?

Re: Org-mode version 6.30 (release_6.30); Batch archiving needs to be more clever

[Andrew Hyatt]

Has the behavior changed in this release?  My report was on 6.30, but
actually I forgot to mention I have not reproduced it with 6.30, but
with previous versions (since the feature was introduced).  The issue
was an error deep in the code (a stringp error, if I remember
correctly).  When that happened, there were items in the org agenda
(generated by maching on TODO items of type DONE) that could not be
navigated to.  Hitting enter on those items gave an error because the
item was not actually there anymore.

I've confirmed your observation, that it does work right on 6.30 for at
least simple cases.  I'll keep an eye on this and see if it pops up on
the current release.

Tststs :-)  How should I fix bugs if you use the wrong version
to send the report :-)

you are right, this was a bug very early on in the development of the
bulk action feature.  But I think already 6.29c had it fixed.
