Re: [Orgmode] Open link with different suffix in org mode

[Xin Shi]

Hi Carsten and Giovanni,

I used (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.info\\'" . text-mode)) and it works!

By the way, my system is GNU Linux. 

Thanks!

Xin

+ [[file:fit.log][fit]]  fit.log   is opened with notepad
+ [[file:../../../a.info][test]]  a.info is not opened:
 the message error, in Italian, translates in:

eval: ShellExecute failed: None application is associated to the
specified file for this operation

Well, I suspect that org calls the program defined in the mailcap file.

Please check there if you have a program associated to the ".info" extension
