This is the first feedback on links between files for Org-remark in its
1+ years of existence; so thank you.
I was OK with absolute file names as I don't move them around much.
Could I ask you to give me a little more detail as to why you find
absolute file names problematic for you, please?
Before your feedback, I had already had a work-in-progress
version. Reflecting your comments, I have added the following user
options:
1. For linking from main file to its annotation file, it can be either a
string (default) or function (new). If you choose the function option,
the default function lets you save the notes of FILE into FILE-notes.org
2. For linking from an annotation file back to a main file, it can be a
relative path (new default), abbreviate absolute path, or other to
specify a function
I have just merged the changes to the main branch in GitHub -- it should
soon make its way to ELPA-devel. I will leave it there for now to see
if I broke anything before I bump up the version to release the package
to ELPA as version 1.
Thank you again for your feedback.
