I expect the links to be literally [[file:../4]] and [[file:../2]] respectively. This is helpful for me to reference other files relatively (e.g., in a repository). For example, since I am working on translating orgweb to zh_CN, I have /zh_CN/index.org referencing /resources/img/xyz.svg, where after I do `C-c C-l file:../resources/img/xyz.svg RET' inside /zh_CN/index.org, Org resolves this link to an absolute path which is counterproductive and does not work beyond my own computer. -- Best, RY ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed. It is even able to convert my previous absolute paths back to relative paths, which is great. -- Best, RY ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
