Subject: suggestion: reverting/notifying of files that no longer exist
Date: Fri, 09 Jul 2004 08:47:17 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <quack.20040709T0847.j5u0wh9o8q@hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu> (raw)
I think Emacs (maybe as part of auto-revert-mode) should notify
you when you edit files that no longer exist. Sometimes I rename
or move a file in shell, but still have the old file open and
accidentally edit buffer for the old file.
It would be very useful if Emacs tells you when a file that used
to exist vanishes:
(1) when you edit its buffer
(2) if (global-)auto-revert-mode or some customizable variable
is enabled, as soon as the file vanishes
