Hi Matthew,
links are always relative, if the file in the same directory as the
file. 'adaptive' means, use absolute path, if file is not in same
directory or below.
Maybe you need to set org-link-file-path-type to 'relative'?
C-h v org-link-file-path-type
------------------------------------------------------------
org-link-file-path-type is a variable defined in `org.el'.
Its value is adaptive
Documentation:
How the path name in file links should be stored.
Valid values are:
relative Relative to the current directory, i.e. the directory of the file
into which the link is being inserted.
absolute Absolute path, if possible with ~ for home directory.
noabbrev Absolute path, no abbreviation of home directory.
adaptive Use relative path for files in the current directory and sub-
directories of it. For other files, use an absolute path.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Or complete the files path in the minibuffer this way:
C-u C-c C-l
~/../../usr/local/share/info/org
TAB completion works for those paths too.
Regards,
Sebastian
