Re: [PATCH] Re: [BUG] org-attach-id-ts-folder-format fails on customized IDs [9.6 (9.6-??-2e9999783)]

[Janek F]

Just now had a closer look at your patch,
and I don't like the hashing.
My whole idea customizing ids is to make the file structure useful by itself, 
too.
This is how I patched it for me:

  (defun xf/org-attach-id-folder-format (id)
    "Translate any ID into a folder-path."
    (format "%s/%s"
            (substring id 0 2)
            (if (> (seq-length id) 2) (substring id 2) id))
    )
  (setq org-attach-id-to-path-function-list '(xf/org-attach-id-folder-format))
