| 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.
|
| You can customize this variable.
