org-link-minor-mode broken with File mode specification error: (error org-link is not a valid folding spec)

[Samuel Wales]

just a note that org-link-minor-mode produces this error upon e.g.
find-file on a bash file, presumably due to org links in it: File mode
specification error: (error org-link is not a valid folding spec)

my version is url = https://github.com/swhahn/org-link-minor-mode and
it is up to date.

does anybody know of a good replacement, different version, etc.?

ime it's a highly useful package.  it highlights and activates org
links and timestamps, but perhaps embark or a dedicated package has
superseded it?  (then i'd have to figure out embark,  which is
currently inscrutable.]

i know of hyperbole, but it doesn't seem to be quite for me.  it feels
a bit heavyweight, or so.  just me though.

here is the bt for the error.

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "org-link is not a valid folding spec")
  signal(error ("org-link is not a valid folding spec"))
  error("%s is not a valid folding spec" org-link)
  org-fold-core-set-folding-spec-property(org-link :visible nil)
  org-link-descriptive-ensure()
  org-toggle-link-display()
  org-link-minor-mode()
  run-hooks(change-major-mode-after-body-hook prog-mode-hook sh-mode-hook)
  apply(run-hooks (change-major-mode-after-body-hook prog-mode-hook
sh-mode-hook))
  run-mode-hooks(sh-mode-hook)
  sh-mode()
  set-auto-mode-0(sh-mode nil)
  set-auto-mode()
  normal-mode(t)
  after-find-file(nil t)
  ...

thanks.  [i just upgraded to current bugfix on 27.1 so that i won't
hit showstopper bugs later etc.  amazing: non-luddite.]

seems this bug also prevents further loading of stuff like my fixme
highlighting.

It is no longer compatible with Org mode and not maintained.
