* Orgmode links trouble with Emacs 24.4 on Windows 7: "ShellExecute failed: ..." @ 2014-11-18 13:06 AW 2014-11-18 21:36 ` Nicolas Goaziou 0 siblings, 1 reply; 4+ messages in thread From: AW @ 2014-11-18 13:06 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Emacs-orgmode hi, I installed Emacs 24.4 on Windows 7. Everything works, except some of my links in orgmode. They worked under Emacs 24.3, and they work with Emacs 24.4 under Linux. The non-working links have a certain structure: I'm using shorcuts. I have a file "AW-org-file.el", containing lines like: (setq org-link-abbrev-alist '(name . "//SBS2011/path/to/folder/%s")) This file "AW-org-file.el" is required in my .emacs The links in the org-files look like this: [[name:filename]] or [[name:./path/down/the/folder/filename.pdf]] With cursor on the link I do "C-c C-o" and get: "ShellExecute failed: Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden." (my translation: the system can not find the file). I'd be thankful for a helping hand, Alexander ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Is the path a valid (according to Windows) file name? Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Except that it contains slashes ( "/" ) instead of backslashes, it is exactly what I expected. And to be clear: the same link works with Emacs 24.3 under Windows 7 as well as under Linux and Emacs 24.4. Thank you for your much appreciated help!
