Re: [O] [PATCH] org-insert-link: allow ido usage when inserting links

[Giovanni Ridolfi]

Hi, Tony,

thanks for submitting the patch,


however I suspect it is longer than 20 lines. 
Therefore it could be applied only if you've 
assigned the copyright to the FSF. For more infos please refer to:

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html

Would it be possible for you?

Thanks,

Giovanni

Oggetto: [O] [PATCH] org-insert-link: allow ido usage when inserting links

This time with patch inlined.

I had a look through and couldn't see an obvious reason why you can't use ido 
with org-insert-link, so here's a patch to enable it.

I haven't looked at using ido for editing links yet, but I figure org-capture 
would be a good pattern to do this.  The other thought here is to add an 'org:' 
link type so you can fire up ido just like org-capture (not sure what non-ido 
org-capture looks like).

This is my first patch, so please let me know if I'm not doing things right.

Tony

[PATCH] org-insert-link: allow ido usage when inserting links

* lisp/org.el (org-insert-link): added all-links to cleanly create 
prefix+stored links for use in ido
(org-i-read-file-name): new defun to allow ido to read a file: link if allowed
