Subject: Setting Koutliner view spec to <|benl1> and then back to <|ben> does
 not restore outline view
Date: Fri, 31 May 2019 23:03:50 -0600

The manual "(hyperbole)Links" says this:

"[...] The form, '<@ 2b=06 |ben>' additionally sets the view spec of the
current outline back to the default value, with a blank line between
each cell and the whole outline visible."

However, setting a view spec to <|ben> after setting it to <|benl1> does
not make the whole outline visible. Is this an issue with the
documentation, a bug in Koutliner, or am I just misunderstanding
something?

Looks like a bug in the Koutliner, in that any clipped cells are not
expanded.  Use {C-c C-a} to show the whole outline for now and we will look
at resolving it.

Note that the pipe character (|) is only used in klinks and not when
interactively prompted for a viewspec with {C-c C-v}, though it doesn't
hurt anything to type it there.  At most, you only ever use one pipe
character.  Maybe instead of <|ben|1> you mean <|benc1> which clips the
outline to 1 line per cell?

Thank you.

That second pipe is a lowercase L(hide cells at levels deeper than N). 
The issue also appears with 'c', but I don't think any others. Adding 
'a' (show all cell levels and all lines in cells) takes precedence over 
both of them, and will show all cell levels and lines no matter what 
else is in the view spec.

I see the lowercase L now.  I think a, show all, overriding other specs is the right behavior unless we decide to have viewspecs applied left to right without priority.  But I have seen 2 cases today that seem to need fixing, the one you pointed out and one involving a.

Handling viewspecs which lack a ‘c’ or a lowercase ‘l’ character is fixed for the next release of Hyperbole 7.0.4 such that these specs are set to their default values (initially set to 0, meaning all lines, levels) and the view is updated.

The bug can be closed if desired.

Thank you, that was very fast.

No reason to keep the bug open.
