Re: [O] FW: [RFC] Link-type for attachments, more attach options

[Gustav Wikström]

Hi, nice to hear that you find it useful!

 

I don’t have access to apply the patch myself. So I’d be happy if one of the frequent maintainers could help out with that, and at the same time look a bit at the quality of it. I’ve used most of the functionality personally for well over a year in my local setup and just now took the time to repackage it into something reusable. Hopefully it’s seen as “good enough” to warrant a merge into one of the org-mode branches!

 

From my perspective the patch adds a lot of utility to the attachment-functionality.

 

Regards

Gustav

Patch comments:

* Add new linktype "attached" for attachments

 

A new linktype "attached" is added in order to reduce link-duplication

when wanting to link to files in attached folders of nodes. This works

for both ID-based attachments and ATTACH_DIR.  Inline images will

trigger also for attachments, as well as search-decorations in the

links.  The goal is to make the functionality for attached-links

mirror file-links.

 

* Add further options for ATTACH_DIR

 

When working with ATTACH_DIR there are now a couple of new options available:

- org-attach-dir-inherit-by-default

- org-attach-dir-create-if-not-exist

- org-attach-dir-relative

 

Descriptions of them can be found in the commit for each new customization.

 

* Documentation in org-manual

 

Org-manual is updated with the new link-type as well as some minor

cleanup in the documentation related to external links and attachments.
