Hi all,
i'm running org-mode 8.2.5h in Emacs 24.3.
Say i have file a.org:
* Main
** Group
*** Firstname Lastname
My reading of
http://orgmode.org/manual/External-links.html#External-links
and
http://orgmode.org/manual/Search-options.html#Search-options
is that i should be able to, in b.org - which resides in the same
directory as a.org - have something like:
[[file+emacs:a.org::*Firstname]]
such that when i move point over that link, and enter C-c C-o
(i.e. org-open-at-point), i will be taken to a buffer containing a.org,
with point on the 'Firstname Lastname' heading. Instead, what happens is
that a new buffer is created, attached to a new file called, literally,
'a.org::*Firstname'.
Similarly, if in b.org i have something like:
[[file+emacs:a.org::2]]
i am not taken to line 2 of a.org, but instead to a new buffer attached
to a new file literally called 'a.org::2'.
i have observed this behaviour with
org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline set to either 'query-to-create
or to nil.
What am i doing wrong?
Alexis.

Bump. Any suggestions as to whether the below is me doing something
wrong (more likely) or a bug (less likely)?
Thanks!

Hi,
Just to say, I reproduce it, so I think it's a bug. Note, the below only
happens for me when using "file+emacs:" to force opening in emacs. The
links work with regular "file:" links, or just starting the link with
"./" Since my .org files open with emacs anyway, I normally wouldn't
add "+emacs". But the manual suggests I could.
Yours,
Christian

Hi Christian,
Thanks for taking the time to look into this!
i was using 'file+emacs:' because when i just used 'file:', the .org
file would be opened using 'less', not Emacs. As a result of your email,
i checked out the documentation for org-open-at-point; it said that
providing a prefix argument would force opening in Emacs. So i removed
the '+emacs' from my example link, and then tried opening it via
C-u C-c C-o - and it worked!
i checked the value of org-file-apps, to see why org-open-at-point was
using 'less', rather than Emacs, to open .org files. It turns out there
was a typo in how i was setting the value of org-file-apps, causing it
to have a nonsense value - and i guess this caused org-mode to fall back
to using 'less' as a default. Setting the value of org-file-apps to a
correct value - including ("org" . emacs) as part of it - resulted in
'file:' links being opened in Emacs, rather than with 'less'.
However, 'file+emacs:' links still exhibit the incorrect behaviour i
described in my original email, and which you experienced also. So it
looks like there is indeed a bug here - or, the 'file+emacs:' example
should be removed from section 4.3 of the Org manual.
Thanks again!
Alexis.

This should be fixed in master branch.
Thank you for reporting it.

Hi Nicolas,
Have just tested your fix - works for me. :-) Thanks for fixing this so
quickly!
