From: Matt Price <moptop99@gmail.com> To: Org Mode <emacs-orgmode@gnu.org> Subject: [PATCH] org-attach-attach: fix symlinks Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2021 08:22:55 -0500 [thread overview] Message-ID: <CAN_Dec_LyTKgSN_kiftee9GULM7FPER5frQFant3n_2C3cwM-g@mail.gmail.com> (raw) [-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 596 bytes --] I'm having trouble with org-attach-attach if my current buffer is visiting a filepath starting with "~/". This trivial patch fixes the problem for me by running (expand-file-name) on the file before attaching. I always use the 'lns method, so I don't know whether it might be better to expand-file-name before running any of the methods. Alternatively, it might actually be better to use a *relative* file path where possible (e.g. to ensure that project directories are fully portable), but I'm not sure how best to do that. This should be a tinychange, but also I have signed FSF paperwork.
