Re: [Orgmode] Bug: contrib/src/org-collector.el [7.3]

[Eric Schulte]

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the report.  I've just pushed up a fix to org-collector.el.
I've entirely removed `org-read-prop' and replaced it with
`org-babel-read' a more modern/robust version of the same function which
doesn't display the problem you mentioned below.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (org-babel-read "123abc-def543") ; 123abc-def543
#+end_src

Cheers -- Eric
