Most processes don't really write anything anywhere -- they just need to have a directory that exists... The use case here is that you open ~/foo/bar/something in a buffer, then rmdir ~/foo/bar, and then try to start a process from that buffer -- it'll fail, because default-directory doesn't point to something that exists. > Or we could use the same value as > url-temporary-directory: (or (getenv "TMPDIR") "/tmp") That's also a good value. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
