On my setup, the right-hand mouse button opens files 'b' and 'b.', whereas the left-hand button only opens links to 'b.'. I was not aware that the behaviour of org-mode links was mouse-button dependent. Best wishes,

I see the problem using emacs -Q, as I reported in a previous email.

I have not altered (knowingly!) my 'org-file-apps' for years. Its value is: --8<---cut here---start->8--- Value: (("\\.pdf\\'" . "xpdf %s") (auto-mode . emacs) ("\\.x?html?\\'" lambda (file link) (eww-open-file file)) ("\\.pdf\\'" . system) ("\\.dvi\\'" . system) ("\\.ps\\'" . system)) Original value was ((auto-mode . emacs) (directory . emacs) ("\\.mm\\'" . default) ("\\.x?html?\\'" . default) ("\\.pdf\\'" . default)) --8<---cut here---end--->8--- The odd thing is that my problem has just arisen. I don't remember having it before say a few weeks ago. Best wishes, Colin.

Touch two files in some directory: touch a.org , touch z 2. emacs -Q 3. C-x f a.org and C-x f z 4. Write some text in each file (I suppose this is not really necessary). 5. Close the buffer z. 6. In a.org enter [[file:./z][This is file z]] and save. 7. Click on the link. 8. Message "Running less in /path/to/z ... done", but link does not open. 9. I get the same if I use C-c C-o. 10. Copy z to z.org. 11. In a.org enter [[file:./z.org][This is file z.org]] and save. 12. Link now opens if it's clicked or C-c C-o is used. This test was done with emacs-29.0.50 and org-version 9.52. I'm on Debian 4.9.290-1. I hope this helps. Best wishes, Colin.

I tried this with Emacs 28.0.91: Opened the COPYING file from org-mode repository. Executed M-x org-store-link Created test.org and did C-c C-l. I was able to create a link and open it with C-c C-o.

Cannot link to files with no extension
Org-mode cannot link to files without an extension. I therefore cannot use org-store-link for org-journal files, etc. Best wishes, Colin Baxter.
