Hi Rainer, Thanks for following up on this.

I consider it a bug because it is a functional limitation. If I see it correctly, there is no way to generate a file link when passing a table with header. I'd expect the :colnames yes to take effect only if there is actually a table. If that was the behaviour, then there would be no functional limitation of that kind. > In the org manual it states concerning the :results file > > ,---- > | * `file' The results will be interpreted as the path to a file, and > | will be inserted into the Org mode buffer as a file link.

Well, I think -- as you say -- :colnames works only on tables. Since there is no table (more than that, actually: I specifically do *not want* a table), the :colnames should not apply. I ask org to produce a file link but get a table. For me that clearly is unexpected. > > If you would like to have a table with links to files, the easiest is to > put the file names into [[]] in R and then return them in a table - or > use :results output and "draw" the table.

I'd say a warning does not fix this. As I might need ':colnames yes' for an input table and ':results file' for the output. At least that is my view.
