If I do a subversion update (sync the org-files to that computer) and then export to HTML on that computer, the previously working links do not work any more: there is no "#ID-..." in the link, in fact, the link is simply to the file that contains the link (not even the file I want to link to). Maybe Org-mode was not able to find the "id"? [...] > I think you need to look in the ~/.emacs.d/.org-id-locations file.

What is the best way to deal with this? - Synchronize? - Delete? - Force re-generation? I have just taken a look at that file. It seems to map one id to one file. How does that help Org-mode if I rename an org-file that contains an id? Many thanks for your help! Warm regards, Stefan -- Dr. Stefan Vollmar, Dipl.-Phys.
