Re: Re: [Patch] Capture: %[FILE] and %(SEXP) (again)

[Carsten Dominik <carsten.dominik@gmail.com>]

Hi Sebastian,

I have rejected both of your patches an instead changed the order of  
evaluation
of escapes in `org-capture-fill-template'.  Inserting file contents and
evaluating sexp entries now happens first, so that the parser looking
for other escapes also sees the stuff inserted by these escapes.

Hope this fixes the issues you where having.

Cheers

- Carsten
