Hi list,
I have several links that use the file protocol to open files indexed in
org entries. They work fine for entries that point to file whose filenames
do *not* contain space, but for entries with space in them, it just fails
silently. I.e:
[[file:/Volumes/ext-hd/pdfs/Name\ Of\ The-\ 4th\ file.pdf]]
I even escaped the filename using the (shell-quote-argument) function when
indexing, but no luck.
Any ideas?
More info:
- GNU Emacs 23.4.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.36) of
2012-01-29 on bob.porkrind.org
- Org-mode version 7.9.1 (release_7.9.1-145-g0a6165-git @ mixed
installation! /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org/ and
/Users/fullofcaffeine/.emacs.d/vendor/org/lisp/)
- Mac OSX Lion.
Thanks,
- Marcelo.

I'm pretty sure a (") needs to go right after the first (:) and another
needs to be just before the first (]) character. On Thu, 6 Sep 2012,

This is a link to a directory. I grabbed it with C-c l and inserted it
with C-c C-l. It seems to work fine:
[[file:lib/music/Arnold%20Schoenberg/Moses%20und%20Aron/][Moses und Aron]

Nick, it's a custom script... however, it looks like I was using the wrong
format. Instead of escaping the space chars, I should uri-encode them it
seems. I'll try that. Thanks!

OK, found the issue, had to use url-insert-entities-in-string instead of
shell-quote-argument.
Thanks,
