Re: Org-remember items are stored to the wrong headline

[Carsten Dominik <dominik@science.uva.nl>]

Hi Tassilo,

this is a bug in compatibility code that is supposed convert values  
previously valid for org-remember-templates to the new format.  In  
your case, this code modified your templates to include the empty  
string as the default headline.  You can see this if you look at the  
value of org-remember-templates after you have used remember for the  
first time in an emacs session.

Things will be fine if you explicitly specify nil for the file and  
headline fields in the template definition.  Or get the latest git  
release, where this problem is fixed as well.

Thanks for the report.

- Carsten
