So my question is whether there's anything I can do to get org-attach-attac= h to recognize the file it's in. I'm assuming that when it's expanding it's in a temporary buffer of some kind which is why it's failing. All thoughts and advice are most welcome.

Hi Everyone,

TL;DR:=C2=A0I've r= ecently started using=C2=A0org-capture=C2=A0and I'd like t= o run=C2=A0org-attach-attach=C2=A0during the expansion of a fe= w of my templates. Doing so from a template function seems not to work (mea= ning a function in a template string called with=C2=A0%(=E2=80=A6)). What's the best way to go about this?

I've recently started to explore=C2=A0org-capture=C2=A0and it's pretty great. I'm interested in h= aving one of my templates search for a file somewhere and, if it finds one,= add it to the current template as an attachment.

My initial test template looks some= thing like:

(defun =
attach-file
    ()
  (org-attach-attach (expand-file-name "a file")
                     nil
                     'cp))

(setq org-capture-templates
      '("T" "TEST" entry
        (file+headline "~/x.org" "Inbox")
        "* TODO Foo%(attach-file)

  %U"))

T= he idea being that=C2=A0attach-file=C2=A0would call=C2=A0org-attach-attach=C2=A0if it could find a file and always expand to= nothing.
