Opening an entry instead creates a new file named after entry ID #380

Closed Wheest closed 2 years ago

Wheest commented 2 years ago

My apologies if this issue already exists, it's quite hard to concisely describe, and I could not find other issues related to it.

I just moved to a new machine, and moved over my org-brain library. I am using Doom Emacs, and my config.el for org-brain matches the one in this repo's README, though I use counsel-brain with :bind (("C-c b" . 'counsel-brain)). This is the same config I had on my old machine.

If I run C-c b, I can navigate my various org-brain entries, however if I attempt to open the entry, the org-brain visualise interface appears, however shows an empty entry with the name matching the org-id of my chosen entry (e.g. 2daaeb60-8c…). However, it also creates a new file in my org-brain directory called 2daaeb60-8c….org.

Any idea what could be causing this?

My guess is that the org ids aren't synced to your new machine. Try running M-x org-brain-update-id-locations

Ah many thanks, that was the issue!

Org-brain is super useful to me, is there a donation link or similar? Or a recommended upstream project that should get it?

I'm glad you enjoy the package and find it useful! I've gotten out of the habit of using it myself, but will hopefully start again. I don't have a donation link, but I'd suggest supporting Org-mode directly by donating to Bastien Guerry @bzg the maintainer of Org-mode. More info here: https://orgmode.org/contribute.html

Thanks for sharing this URL @Kungsgeten!

It is worth mentioning that donations now go to the group of Org co-maintainers, not just me.

We also welcome maintainers of packages from the Org ecosystem, so feel free to share your Liberapay username and we will add you on https://liberapay.com/org-mode/.
