Views not saved persistently #378

Closed Pentaquark1 closed 8 months ago

Pentaquark1 commented 8 months ago

Hi,

when I save an org-ql-search, it will show up in helm-org-ql-views and all the other related functions that show saved views. However after restarting emacs, only the default views show up.

Using latest doom emacs, org-mode 9.7, Gnu Emacs 29.1

Hello,

Please try to reproduce the problem in a clean Emacs configuration, e.g. using https://github.com/alphapapa/with-emacs.sh

Also, FYI, you can save the views as Emacs bookmarks instead, e.g. with C-x r m.

Hi, let me know if I did this right:

cloned that repo, then ran it with ./with-emacs.sh -i org-ql --dir ~/new-emacs.d
then created some random view, saved the view. checked with org-ql-view that it shows up, it does
closed emacs, then ran it with the exact same cmd as above again, checked org-ql-view, my random view is not there anymore

That tip with Emacs bookmarks is nice. I checked my bookmarks and there was a burly bookmark of a view that I apparently made while tinkering and forgot about. That method might serve just fine as well.

Thanks. I can confirm the bug now. Something must have changed in recent Emacs versions. Should be a simple fix.

@Pentaquark1 I think that will fix it. Would you please install from this branch and let me know if it works for you? https://github.com/alphapapa/org-ql/tree/stable/0.7

Seems to work for me.
