Hi,
I have migrated from a OSX based system to a linux/debian system. I have
all my main org files in a directory ~/org and in OSX this was a symbolic
link to ~/a-hard-disk/org (it may have been an alias, ot sure). In Ubuntu,
however, I have lots of trouble with org-attach: I attach a file using say
copy and when I call C-c C-a o there are no attachments. Sometimes it works
but next time I open the file there are no attachments. I experienced
similar issues with links:
[[file:./img/myimage.png]]
was not found but a qualified path worked.
Could this be because of the symlink to my org directory? Is there a better
way to do it?
Best,
Henrik

I do not use org-attach, but I do use a lot of symlinks (at the
underlying system level), and they never give me any trouble (for
whatever that's worth).
