Re: [O] org-capture-expand-file: Invalid file location: nil

[Xi Shen]

Hi Nicolas,

Sorry, I missed this one.

(global-set-key (kbd "C-c c") 'org-capture)

OK, thanks for the tip. The problem lies in the "org-capture-templates" settings. I think in the past, it accept a "nil" argument. Now it expects an empty string. Replacing nil with empty string solves my problem.

Regards,

David

I don't see any "c" template in your `org-capture-templates'.

This seems expected according to the docstring.

Have you tried to specify an actual filename, or the empty string,
instead of using nil? Both `file+headline' and `file+datetree' expect
some file to operate on.
