That makes sense (and given that Org gives a warning, it should probably be treated as obsolete, although one *might* see it just as a simpler and more compact alternative to query-style URLs). So Charlie can ignore my objection to the deletion, and we can put it in a history section. > Christian, what is your OS and Desktop environment if it is Linux? Mint and xfce.

(I thought I had tested this several times already, but I must have done something else wrong.) Single slash does work, and so does triple slash, quadruple slash, etc. Only double slash after org-protocol fails. The number of slashes between subprotocol (store-link:) and query doesn't matter. If single slashes work on all other platforms, we can use that. > Are there messages in browser developer tools console (F12).

That seems to fit with the facts, yes. Thanks for following up on this. Yours, Christian
