org-url-hexify-p is not respected

[James Harkins <jamshark70@gmail.com>]

Have to admit, I'm getting a wee bit cross as it's 12:30 at night here, and all I wanted to do was save a link to a beamer-export .org file into another org file, and it keeps giving the link a hex ID that I *do not want*.

I have customized org-url-hexify-p -- C-h v org-url-hexify-p shows:

~~~
org-url-hexify-p is a variable defined in `org.el'.
Its value is nil

Documentation:
When non-nil, hexify URL when creating a link.
~~~

But C-c l creates:

<id:35d46474-b096-4312-a6e9-f3d32b3120f7>

That looks curiously like the hexified link that should not be generated according to the nil value of org-url-hexify-p.

I want the <file:.....> link because <id:...> cannot be resolved after quitting and restarting emacs (which is, IMO, a really massive weakness of org-url-hexify-p's default enabled setting, but I suppose there was a good reason for it).

How do I make org-url-hexify-p behave properly?

Org-mode version 7.9 (release_7.9-34-g4ca67b @ /home/blahblah/share/org-mode.git/lisp/)

Thanks.
