In this version, I have made several basic improvements. 1. Each of the defcustom items now has a require property. The main benefit of this is that a user may now simply place load-dir.el in their load path, use M-x load-library to load 'load-dir' and then do a M-x customize-group to customize the 'load-dir' group, customize load-dirs, and restart Emacs. There is no need to also manually edit their .emacs file to add a '(require 'load-dir)' in order to actually cause Emacs to load load-dir.el. 2. Modified the load-dirs defcustom so that it can now accept several types via the "Value Menu" customize feature. 1. nil, the default value, effectively causes load-dir.el to do nothing. 2. t causes the default directory of ~/.emacs.d/load.d to be used (saves typing). 3. A single directory causes files in that directory to be loaded. 4. A list of directories causes all files in every directory in the list to be loaded. Note that the error handling code does not appear to be working as expected. I set load-dir-ignore-errors to t. I then placed a file error.el in my load-dir directory that contains a deliberate error. The expected behavior is for Emacs initialization to complete with perhaps a message telling me about the error. Instead, Emacs initialization halts at the error and the "*GNU Emacs*" buffer is never displayed. I will look into this latter. I hope that you find this changes useful. --000325558c364862ea049ece14d0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello,
