Hi,

I have in my init the following modification to the org-attach-attach
function so that I can copy a directory. I have replaced the line

((eq method 'cp) (copy-file file attach-file))

with this:

((eq method 'cp) (if (file-directory-p file) 
		     (copy-directory file attach-file)
		   (copy-file file attach-file)))


You can override the old function with advice-add:

(advice-add 'org-attach-attach :override 'my-new-org-attach-attach)

Can you please elaborate more? In my case, I use org-attach almost as a
replacement for my folder system (ie org nodes have come to replace
directories, and many nodes have a folder attached); I access the nodes
via org-ql/helm-org-ql (https://github.com/alphapapa/org-ql). It's very
productive.

Best regards,

Juan Manuel
