Hi all,
I recently investigated why `org-open-at-point` uses smplayer to
open *.mp4 links, although the system's default is vlc.
The solution was to create ~/.mailcap with
video/mp4; vlc %s
I wanted to store this file as an attachment in an org document, so I
don't forget about it, but this attachment can't be opened due
to `org-attach-file-list` ignoring all files that start with a dot.
I would modify it like this to ignore just "." and "..":
--- a/lisp/org-attach.el
+++ b/lisp/org-attach.el
@@ -425,7 +425,7 @@ This can be used after files have been added
externally."
"Return a list of files in the attachment directory.
This ignores files starting with a \".\", and files ending in \"~\"."
(delq nil
- (mapcar (lambda (x) (if (string-match "^\\." x) nil x))
+ (mapcar (lambda (x) (if (string-match "^\\.\\.?$" x) nil x))
(directory-files dir nil "[^~]\\'"))))
Is there a reason behind this dot file restriction? Would anything break
if the proposed change was made?
regards,
