Subject: bug#6948: 23.1; incorrect documentation for desktop-save-mode
Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2010 09:59:49 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTims=Jb49euX6-4zO8b24gn8jkVteBjYB3R8SgbW@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
This web page:
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Saving-Emacs-Sessions.html
incompletely says: "... when Emacs starts, it looks for a saved
desktop in the current directory."
Emacs currently looks in "." and "~" for a saved desktop. I suggest
you change the text and add a note that this setting can be changed by
customizing the variable destkop-path or by adding a line to your init
file, such as:
(setq destkop-path ".")
Thanks!
Tom
