recenter after visiting file (with savehist-mode)

recenter after visiting file (with savehist-mode)

I am trying to get Emacs to recenter the window around point after opening
a file with savehist-mode. I tried adding an :after advise to
save-place-find-file-hook, I tried setting a global display-buffer
function, but no matter what I try I keep getting the dreaded:

`recenter'ing a window that does not display current-buffer.

Does anyone know any way around this?

Cheers,

You probably have to use a function like the below.

(defun recenter-window (&optional window)
   "Recenter WINDOW.
WINDOW must be a live window and defaults to the selected one."
   (let ((window (window-normalize-window window t)))
     (if (eq window (selected-window))
	(recenter)
       (with-selected-window window
	(recenter)))))
