Hi, I sent this patch 1 month ago but it wasn't included in org. I still need it for link following to work, otherwise I get:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil) string-match("^id:" nil) org-open-at-point(nil) call-interactively(org-open-at-point nil nil) command-execute(org-open-at-point) I remember seeing another bug report on this list providing the same solution. Thanks. diff --git a/lisp/org.el b/lisp/org.el index c42b9eb..01b39be 100644 --- a/lisp/org.el +++ b/lisp/org.el @@ -10517,7 +10517,8 @@ application the system uses for this file type."
