Hello Experts,

I'm using Emacs 23.1.1 and org mode 6.34b.  In the org file, if I use a link
say [[./link.org][test]], it will open the link.org file in another buffer
with orgmode. It will be also true, if I use [[./link.txt][link test]],
which will open a link.txt file with Text mode. However, if I do the
following:

[[./test.info][test]], it will just hang there. It seems that org does not
know how to deal with the .info suffix. Are there any way to set the org to
open different link?
I've read the org manual, but didn't find the solution. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Xin

  Hi Xin,
  
  one solution is to customize the variable org-file-apps and
  add to an entry like this:
  
               Choice:   Value Menu   Extension: \.info\'
               Choice:   Value Menu   Visit with Emacs
  
  Any file types that have an major-mode assigned to it using
  auto-mode-alist will already be visited by Emacs automatically,
  but .info is not one of those file types.  So another solution
  would be something like the following in your setup.
  
  (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.info\\'" . text-mode))
  
  Actualy, this is probably the better solution.
  
  HTH

  here:
  GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2009-07-30 on SOFT-MJASON
  Org-mode version 6.34
  Windows XP PS3

  + [[file:fit.log][fit]]  fit.log   is opened with notepad
  + [[file:../../../a.info][test]]  a.info is not opened: 
    the message error, in Italian, translates in:
  
  eval: ShellExecute failed: None application is associated to the
  specified file for this operation

  Well, I suspect that org calls the program defined in the mailcap file.
  
  Please check there if you have a program associated to the ".info" extension
  
  cheers,
  Giovanni

    Hi Carsten and Giovanni,
    
    I used (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.info\\'" . text-mode)) and it
    works!
    
    By the way, my system is GNU Linux.
    
    Thanks!
    
    Xin
