Hello Bastien, I'm glad to help (even if such a small contribution). The downside of this hack is that it does not work when you export the buffer. If you use the file: link type then the link will works when you export the org buffer, but you have to type the whole path of the attached file.

Hi Darlan, here is how I see the situation regarding attachments: 1. org-attach.el is nice because it makes it easy to attach a file to a task, while not *worrying* about where the file is on the harddrive. 2. Adding an ATTACH_DIR property will always add an absolute path, so there is no

As I see changing the attach directory to point to the original one is the easiest solution that has no chances of breaking anything and would keep attachments working in the refiled/archived sub-trees. Maybe a org-attach-move-files function could also be implemented to easily move an attachment

Hi Gustav and Darlan, one solution I can think of is to set `org-attach-directory' to an absolute path instead of data/ (the current default value). This way, refiling an entry will not lose attachments. I'm considering using ~/.org-data/ as the default value. What do you think? -- Bastien
