Hi Matt,

I would call this a bug.  It is fixed now.  Thanks for your report!

I am using org 6.10c. When I set org-link-file-path-type to absolute
and use C-u C-c C-l (org-insert-link with argument), any file in my
home directory above my org directory is given the shortcut ~ -- as in
file:~/pdfs/paper.pdf. (This is the desired behavior.)

But when org-link-file-path-type is set to adaptive (the default)
and I use org-insert link, the files above my org-directory are
given unabbreviated names. E.g.: file:/home/matt/pdfs/paper.pdf.

Since I use org on two separate computers with different root
directory structures but also rely on relative links for my website, I
would like the adaptive option to create abbreviated links for the
home directory (i.e., ~). Is this possible?

I seem to remember the adaptive setting resulting in the abbreviated
links in 6.06 (before I upgraded to 6.08 and then 6.10), but I may be
wrong about that.

My mistake. I checked and this was apparently not the behavior of
earlier versions of org-mode.

So let me try to simplify my question: Is it possible to have an
adaptive link option that creates (a) relative links for files in the
same directory as my org files or in subdirectories and (b)
abbreviated absolute links (i.e., ~ for home) for files in other
directories within my home directory? In other words, the behavior of
the absolute link option as part of the adaptive link option. As far
as I can tell, when the adaptive link option is set, org-store-link
and org-insert-link produce unabbreviated links for files in the home
directory.

Thanks (and sorry for the wordiness).
Matt


Thanks,
