Re: [Orgmode] link bug

[Carsten Dominik]

There are two issues here:

The first is when you want to *store* a link to a file-less buffer,
using `C-c l'.
This should be an error, because links are for the future and if there
is no file, there is no point linking to it.  Org-mode is throwing
an error, but there is a bug if the file-less buffer is in org-mode.

The second problem is the one you describe.  I am fixing it in the way
you propose.

Both problems fixed for 4.54.  Thanks for the report.
