Subject: [BUG] Attachments not resolved correctly from symlinked Org files
Date: Sun, 28 Apr 2024 13:22:50 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ttjl8cf9.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
Attachment paths are not resolved correctly when the Org file is
symlinked elsewhere. This may or may not be a bug, but I think it's
undesired behavior:
1. Create an Org file somewhere, say ~/Desktop/test.org.
2. In test.org, create an attachment: `C-c C-a m' as a file. Either the
"copy" or "move" attachment method can be used.
3. Symlink test.org from elsewhere, say
/tmp/test.org -> ~/Desktop/test.org
4. In a fresh Emacs session, open /tmp/test.org and try to open the
attachment directory (`C-c C-a f').
Two things happen:
- An empty directory is created, like
/tmp/data/48/2697ee-913c-4eee-b1fb-636416d3fb6b
- The original attachment can't be found, since it's actually in
~/Desktop/data/48/2697ee-913c-4eee-b1fb-636416d3fb6b
Tested with `emacs -q' with Org 9.6.23, and with commit
1ae978f940c0f88473f2232177c63a0de7fb7a1c from two weeks ago.
