I use:  Editor:      GNU Emacs 29.4 with native comp
        Hyperbole:   9.0.2pre
        Sys Type:    x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

Hi,

not sure if this is truly a bug or more a feature request.  I use
explicit buttons inside org files, and then use the "Act" command to
activate them.

However, this does not work if I use the command
"org-tree-to-indirect-buffer" to narrow to an org tree.  I assume this
is due to the fact that the resulting buffer gets a postfix added to its
name with the name of the header (so it is "filename::header"
afterwards).

I wonder if the button activation could be adjusted so that it also
works in such subtree buffers?

Thanks for suggesting this idea. We don't have support for indirect buffers
now. Looking quickly at it, it seems it could be possible to use the function
buffer-base-buffer to understand what is going on. Might even be a small
change but we need to check the details.

Will add it as a feature request.

We think we have solved the issue. With the latest elpa devel package,
https://elpa.gnu.org/devel/hyperbole.html,
(hyperbole-9.0.2pre0.20250105.123756.tar) we now support indirect buffers.

A minor remaining issue is that highlighting when creating a new explicit
button will not work expect for in the buffer where the button is created. But
everything else should work. Please give it a try.

After you activate the explicit button, it will be highlighted.  — rsw
