Subject: bug#43412: [FEATURE] autorevert-only-if-visible [PATCH]
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2020 00:07:28 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200915040728.77ufv7g6bekvrzqa@E15-2016.optimum.net> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 855 bytes --]
The attached proposed patch adds a defcustom and makes a change to two
existing functions in order to allow a user the option to only have
autorevert mode operate on visible buffers. The change to function
'after-find-files' may also fix a bug (or change behavior) in that
sometimes when being prompted to manually revert a buffer that had been
in auto-revert-mode, the auto-revert-mode status would be lost, ie. set
to nil.
Use of this feature:
1) Reduces CPU workload when using autorevert
2) Reduces messages when using `auto-revert-verbose'
Possible disadvantage:
1) When making a buffer visible, it might take as long as
'auto-revert-interval' seconds for any accumulated changes to
auto-revert. The default for that value is five seconds.
