Hello Dominik.

Uh.  That's odd.  Maybe you are not using the same version of me?  I'm
using the org-version shipped with Emacs 24.3.1.

You are right.

I was aware of it though so that's why I specifically wrote "typing".

I think the "%20" is added because org-mode thinks this is an url, which
it is not.

But either way, can you open the file using C-c C-o?  I suspect that
with the repair it's even harder now to open it.

That's a sensible thing to do.
