(require 'session) (add-hook 'after-init-hook 'session-initialize) Ahem yes, it is simpler :) ... all my file open history, search history etc are saved. Works well for me. I'm not sure why savehist exists as it doesn't appear to provide any improvements that I can see. Any more info appreciated. Concerning savehist.el, I am, like you, very dubious on what it can be useful. Same applies for saveplace.el. I plan to sort of try merging these three packages into a unique one.
