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, Oleh
