Re: [O] Org links that point to filenames with space do not open
OK, found the issue, had to use url-insert-entities-in-string instead of shell-quote-argument. Thanks, - Marcelo.

Nick, it's a custom script... however, it looks like I was using the wrong format. Instead of escaping the space chars, I should uri-encode them it seems. I'll try that. Thanks!

Re: [O] Org links that point to filenames with space do not open
I'm pretty sure a (") needs to go right after the first (:) and another
needs to be just before the first (]) character. On Thu, 6 Sep 2012,

[O] Org links that point to filenames with space do not open
Hi list, I have several links that use the file protocol to open files indexed in org entries. They work fine for entries that point to file whose filenames do *not* contain space, but for entries with space in them, it just fails silently. I.e: [[file:/Volumes/ext-hd/pdfs/Name\ Of\ The-\ 4th\ file.pdf]] I even escaped the filename using the (shell-quote-argument) function when indexing, but no luck. Any ideas? More info: - GNU Emacs 23.4.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.36) of 2012-01-29 on bob.porkrind.org - Org-mode version 7.9.1 (release_7.9.1-145-g0a6165-git @ mixed installation! /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org/ and /Users/fullofcaffeine/.emacs.d/vendor/org/lisp/) - Mac OSX Lion. Thanks, - Marcelo.
