Date: Mon, 28 Oct 2019 18:37:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E3E2801C-625B-44D3-B1AA-A365488737C2@univie.ac.at> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <38fdbe2c-5f1a-3b37-da5f-e2fa6411d8e1@gmx.at>
Thanks for your reply. With the "switch-to-buffer-obey-display-actions" option, opening of files works according to "display-buffer-alist". However, now the following problem appears. E.g., I have
("[ ]?mail[ ]?" (display-buffer-reuse-window display-buffer-pop-up-frame)
(reusable-frames nil)
(pop-up-frame-parameters
(tool-bar-lines . 1)
(left . 859)
(left-fringe . 2)
(top . 183)
(height . 32)
(width . (text-pixels . 837))
(font . "SF MONO-18")
(line-spacing . 3)
))
in "display-buffer-alist". Now if I have some buffer.foo open in its own frame, and then issue C-x m, a new message buffer pops up in its own frame, as it should be. However, after finally issuing C-c C-c to send the mail, the frame which contained the mail buffer does not disappear (as it was the case with the old special-display.regexp stuff), rather this frame shows a second instance of buffer.foo.
Thanks,
Konrad
