Message-ID: <40C7B1BFC291ED4E9D10436D07736A33470478B372@EXMAIL7.haas.uc.berkeley.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <23805.1336833570@alphaville>
I think the problem is in the org-mode code that interprets "%s." (and how this interacts with my bash shell). This is supposed to pass the executable the fully qualified file name, but somehow it ends up passing the directory twice, which (understandably) confuses the executable.
While this seems to have something to do with the bash shell I'm using, this works fine for everything else, so I'm pretty sure there's no fundamental problem in my setup, and it would be nice to find a way around this problem.
Two thoughts:
1) Is there another string I could use, instead of %s, that results in the file name being passed without the path at all? This would probably cure the problem.
2) If not, where is the code that interprets %s? I can try stepping through it and see what I can find.
Thanks a lot.
Richard
