Re: [BUG] ox-odt fails for org-id links (e.g., from org-roam v2) [9.5.2 (9.5.2-gfbff08 @ /home/moritz/.emacs.d/elpa/27.2/develop/org-9.5.2/)]

[Moritz Schäfer]

Thanks for getting back to me on this.

Here is a minimal example. In org-roam (v2), when having a file/node:

note_a.org:

:PROPERTIES:
:ID:       3c885843-13ad-4dd8-a57f-de8271403b85
:END:
#+TITLE: Note A

and a second file note_b.org:

:PROPERTIES:
:ID:       715fdccf-0c40-4bbe-87b0-ae9787c46a1b
:END:
#+TITLE: Note B
[[id:3c885843-13ad-4dd8-a57f-de8271403b85][Link to Note A]]

and then run (org-odt-export-to-odt) (within the buffer #note_b.org), then I get the aforementioned error:

OpenDocument export failed: FIXME: Unable to resolve "note_a.org"

Hope this helps.

Best,

Moritz

Thanks for reporting, and sorry for the late reply.
Could you provide an example and steps demonstrating the problem?
