Hello.

How to leave emacs without saving after some modification were made
without leaving #file# (with moving it or switching off)?

I'm not sure what you're asking but try C-x C-c.

This leaves auto save #file# after exit.

But only if you say "no" when being queried if the changes should be
saved to the file.  Well, in that case it might be ok not to auto-save,
because the user already stated that he doesn't want to persist his
changes.  But I don't see how that could be done easily.  One way would
be to write your own version of `server-kill-emacs-query-function' and
replace the original with yours in `kill-emacs-query-functions'...

You could also disable auto-saving completely:

,----[ C-h v auto-save-default RET ]
| auto-save-default is a variable defined in `files.el'.
| Its value is t
| 
| Documentation:
| Non-nil says by default do auto-saving of every file-visiting buffer.
| 
| You can customize this variable.
`----

But I don't think it's a good idea to turn off auto saving.

Bye,

The main question is "exit without saving", so I must answer "no".

It's very difficult. But as I just realized kill-buffer removes #file#
even if modification were made. It doesn't close emacs, so it doesn't
solve problem, but I think it's not very difficult to write own function
which kills buffer and closes emacs.

No, as I said this is absolutely impossible. I used to that vim takes
care about this and I don't have (and don't want to have) habit to save
file.

I think it's very bad idea.

+1

made a script, which deletes files I usually don't want to see then.

a version runs from Emacs called on a dired-buffer, the other from bash

from Emacs it reads

(defun dak ()
   "Delete files not wanted. "
   (interactive)
   (shell-command "
rm \$(find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -name \"\\#\*#\" \\
-o -type f -name \"\*.OTHER\" \\
-o -type f -name \"\*.THIS\" \\
-o -type f -name \"\*.BASE\" \\
-o -type f -name \"\*.\* \*~\" \\
...

If this is something you are going to do often and with many modified
files, I cannot help you.  However, if this is something that will crop
up now and again, I would simply suggest you manually visit and kill
each of the buffers (C-x k) you don't want to save.

Perhaps like this:

(defadvice save-buffers-kill-terminal (before my-before-exit activate)
  (kill-all-unsaved-buffers))

You would just need to write (kill-all-unsaved-buffers).
