Getting the edit plugin to work with Emacs daemon?

[matogoro]

Hi all,

I was just wondering if it is possible to get the beets edit plugin to work with daemonized Emacs (i.e., emacsclient), which is my preferred editor.

I have a new daemonized Emacs window set as my $EDITOR environment variable in bash (emacsclient -nc), and when I invoke the standard beet edit QUERY, the temporary YAML file correctly opens in a new daemonized Emacs window. However, the bash prompt immediately exits out with No changes; aborting. before any changes are made (saved changes after this point are not applied, either).

If I set $EDITOR to a non-daemonized version of Emacs (i.e., emacs), then the YAML file is opened and the edits are applied correctly (this is what I'm working with now).

Does anyone have any insight on how to get this working? Thanks!
