Yes, you have a point here. I tested again the Org refile function in 3 cases : - no bookmarks file - an empty bookmarks file - changed the ownership of the file so that the user has no rights to=20 write the bookmarks file And it behaves gently in the 3 cases. But I'm positive about the fact that the error disapeared when I removed=20 an empty bookmarks files.
