Hi,
This may be intended, but before it was possible (and there is a lot
of code and examples in the wild) to have a capture template element
such as:
(setq org-default-notes-file "~/Documents/orgfiles/inbox.org")
(setq org-capture-templates
'(("t" "Todo" entry (file)
"* TODO %^{Brief description} %^g\n %u\n %?" :empty-lines 1)
...))
While with stable 9.1.3 an empty string must be explicitly passed in
(file "") if org-default-notes-file is to be used as the target.
Regards

I don't see this documented either in `org-capture-templates' docstring
or in the manual. It could be some glitch that disappeared during
a refactoring. AFAICT, the empty string has always been the way to go.

Yes, you are right about the docs, alas many features are undocumented.
But I must say I really haven't used org-mode in sufficient depth to
say how long this glitch has been there...
thank you

If you think documentation is lacking somewhere, please report it.
