Hi All,
I use org-attach to copy and attach images in my org-mode notes. I would
like to assign org-attach-id-dir using directory local variable. Please
find the statements I use in directory local file to define my org-roam
directory and org-attach-id-dir below for reference.
Directory local configuration:
((nil . ((eval . (setq-local
org-roam-directory (expand-file-name
(locate-dominating-file
default-directory ".dir-locals.el"))))
(eval . (setq-local
org-roam-db-location (expand-file-name "org-roam.db"
org-roam-directory)))
(eval . (setq-local
org-attach-id-dir (expand-file-name "attachments"
org-roam-directory)))
)))
My Emacs and Org-mode configuration:
Org: 9.6
Emacs: 28.1 (Doom Emacs)
The org-mode file opened from this directory respects the attachment
location defined in directory local variable when display of inline
images during start-up is disabled. Org mode displays the attachments
once the org file is open, and I toggle display of inline image. The
same files throw an error when I open the file with inline images
enabled at startup.
1. Have I made an error in how I define the directory local file?
2. If I have not made and error, Is it possible to define the attachment
directory in directory local variable and have org mode respect the
location when display of inline images are enabled during startup?
3. If I did make an error, do you have any recommendation on how I can
resolve this?
I am new to Emacs, and I am not good at Emacs Lisp currently. It's
something I am trying to learn. Any suggestions or recommendation would
help. I am open to testing this out in stock Emacs if that's something
that will help.
Thanks & Regards,
Alen Alex

No.

The problem you are seeing is because Emacs assigns directory-local and
buffer-local variables _after_ Org mode (or any other major mode) is
loaded.
Org startup staff happens during loading before directory-local
variables are assigned. Hence error.
I've seen multiple issues coming from the above behavior.
Hence, I'd like to propose Org to call `hack-local-variables' early
during startup. The patch is attached.
Best,
Ihor

Subject: [PATCH] org-mode: Make local variables effective during Org startup
* lisp/org.el (org-mode): Call `hack-local-variables' early during Org
mode startup. This way, Org startup options will regard local
variable settings.
