Hello List, One org-mode feature that I find extremely useful is org-attach. I use it frequently as an easy way to store files associated with a task (in fact, any sub-tree) without worrying too much about where the files are located (for some specific sub-trees I like to set the attach directory).
However, sometimes I need to put a link to an attached file in the text in its sub-tree. Up to now I just used the path to the file, but that required me to locate where the file is located in order to insert the link. This is not a lot of work, but destroys the beauty of attached files, IMHO, and I think some "attach link type" would be a better solution. Using the functions already provided by org-attach I could get #+LINK: attach elisp:(org-open-file (org-attach-expand "%s")) However, I always have to confirm the execution of the elisp code. It would be better if this link type was already provided in org (possible when org-attach is loaded). Besides, org inline images should work with this link type. Other useful things (just random thoughts) could be: - Perform some operation when a file is attached, such as replacing white-spaces in the file-name by underscores - When a file is attached a link to it could be stored in the kill ring, in case the user want to insert it in the current text. Alternatively, an interactive function to insert a link to an attached file (using the same completions we already get for opening attached files) would also be very handy. -- Darlan _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
