Just closing the loop on this for anyone that follows in the future. I worked out a solution for this, which allows me to keep these setting in drawers, but temporarily "unpacks" the draws to just their contents before painting images or exporting:
### (defun unpack-image-drawers (&rest r) "Replace drawers named "IMAGE_INFO" with their contents." (let* ((drawer-name "IMAGE_INFO") (save-string "#+ATTR_SAVE: truen") (image-drawers (reverse (org-element-map (org-element-parse-buffer) 'drawer (lambda (el) (when (string= drawer-name (org-element-property :drawer-name el)) el)))))) (cl-loop for drawer in image-drawers do (setf (buffer-substring (org-element-property :begin drawer) (- (org-element-property :end drawer) 1)) (concat save-string (buffer-substring (org-element-property :contents-begin drawer) (- (org-element-property :contents-end drawer) 1))))))) (defun repack-image-drawers (&rest r) "Restore image drawers replaced using `unpack-image-drawers'." (let* ((drawer-name "IMAGE_INFO") (save-string "#+ATTR_SAVE: truen") (image-paragraphs (reverse (org-element-map (org-element-parse-buffer) 'paragraph (lambda (el) (when (string= "true" (nth 0 (org-element-property :attr_save el))) el)))))) (cl-loop for paragraph in image-paragraphs do (setf (buffer-substring (org-element-property :begin paragraph) (- (org-element-property :contents-begin paragraph) 1)) (concat ":" drawer-name ":n" (buffer-substring (+ (length save-string) (org-element-property :begin paragraph)) (- (org-element-property :contents-begin paragraph) 1)) "n:END:"))))) (defun apply-with-image-drawers-unpacked (f &rest r) "Replace drawers named "IMAGE_INFO" with their contents, run the function, finally restore the drawers as they were. Also collapses all drawers before returning." (unpack-image-drawers) (apply f r) (repack-image-drawers) (org-hide-drawer-all)) (advice-add #'org-display-inline-images :around #'apply-with-image-drawers-unpacked) (add-hook 'org-export-before-processing-hook 'unpack-image-drawers) On 2021-07-06 18:25, Matthew Twomey wrote: > Greetings, > > I'm trying to find a way to visually collapse settings related to images in > my org docs.
