check if org attachment directory exists #203
Conversation

Hi! I don't quite understand the problem here. When I'm looking at the code for To me this seems like it already checks if the directory exists. Which version of org-mode are you using? |
|
Hi, thank you for the reply and also for all the great work! code.orgmode.org @commit ae9cd43 @line 285 Perhaps the check should be there after all, I will try to send a bug report to them. |
|
Yes please hear what they say, perhaps there's an error or maybe the function is meant to be used in a different way now. |
|
Stumbled upon this - author of the patch you linked to here. I'll add the check back - it makes sense to have it there. It also makes sense to return the attachment-directory even if it's not initialized though, but I'll keep that behavior with an optional flag I think. |
In commit ae9cd43 the filsystem check for org-attach-dir was removed. Adding it back here, together with an optional flag to override the check. To satisfy compatabilty issues with org-brain. Ref. thread here: - Kungsgeten/org-brain#203
|
Should be fixed in org-mode master now. |

Hey, that sounds great! Thanks a lot for the update. |
org-attach-dirreturns a path even if the directory doesn't exist. Wrapped it with a prompt, otherwise can't visualize headlines anymore.
