Subject: Re: Don't concat directories to file names
Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2007 21:07:10 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1I1B8g-0000Eb-9l@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87k5ty66nq.fsf@uwakimon.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp> (stephen@xemacs.org)
Regarding `find-user-data-file', XEmacs distinguishes between
"locating" a file (those functions return file names), and "finding" a
file (those functions switch to a buffer visiting the file). I forget
which your function does.... I don't have a strong feeling about
this, but Emacs makes a similar distinction with "find-library"
vs. "locate-library". Maybe it's worth being consistent?
I agree with that point.
But I still don't like `data'. All the user's directories
hold the user's data, not just this one.
