Subject: Re: global-autorevert-mode does not preserve read-only status
Date: Wed, 01 Sep 2004 00:57:20 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1C2NBQ-000469-O3@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)

1. C-x C-f /var/log/syslog (or any other growing log file)
2. That buffer shoudl not be edited, so we want C-x C-q
3. M-x global-autorevert-mode (start following all logs)
... after a while the log buffer is reverted, but unfortunately the
read only status that the user activated for the buffer is not
preserved after auto reverted has reloaded the buffer.
I think the state should be preserved as user had set it.
For Autorevert mode, I agree.
Manual revert should recalculate the read-only status based
on the file, as it does now.
