[O] Bug: exporting ical files from read-only buffers [7.8.03 (release_7.8.03.112.g8861)]
I've found a small bug with exporting ical files from read-only org buffers. Create a simple buffer, e.g.: * test1 2012-01-12 Thu and then hit C-x C-q to make the buffer read-only. Then do C-c C-e i to export an ical file. You get an error that the buffer is read-only. I think this is due to the call to org-refresh-category-properties, which can't update text proprties. My workaround is to do: (setq inhibit-read-only nil) so that text properties can be added to read-only buffers. This could be done locally within the ical export functions if others thought sensible, for which I can send a patch if desired.

I think I've run into this for other export targets as well, although it may be my memory that is faulty here. I use RCS for version control for standalone files and often have files read-only from which I want to export.

I also use RCS, which is how I got caught out today (trying to set up Eric's neat guide for gettting org-ical- google calendar; thanks for that Eric.) Before sending the bug, I tried exporting to pdf, which worked fine; what other exporters do you use? Stephen

I had imagined this to be a generic issue as I could not imagine that there would be anything special about exporting to ICAL... I have just tried a read-only document I have and everything has worked fine. Strange. Definitely faulty (wetware) memory; time for a RAM upgrade ;-) Apologies for the noise.
