Subject: bug#13531: 24.2.92; Normally closed Emacs leaves autosave files
Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2013 08:13:09 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87r4lcv0ca.fsf@web.de> (raw)
Hi,
I mean this behavior:
0. Start emacs -Q
1. Find any file that is writable for you
2. Make some change
3. You've changed your mind. You type C-x C-c.
Type n to negate the "Save file ..." question
Type "yes" to answer the "Modified buffers exist; exit anyway?"
question
As a result, Emacs exits, but it leaves an autosave file. IMHO this
shouldn't be the case, because the user decidedly wanted to discard his
changes. Autosave files should only survive a session if Emacs crashed.
With the current behavior, we only confuse users because they will think
that the autosave files come from a crash, and will want to check if
they have to recover anything.
Thanks,
Michael.
