Well, I am curious about what you might want to do before a file is opened. Just off the top of my head, I can&#39;t think of anything you might want to do before it is opened that you can&#39;t do equally as well after it is open :-)<div>
<br></div><div>But in answer to your later questions - have a look at ido, it must do something similar in &quot;overloading&quot;/hijacking the find-file command, I haven&#39;t bothered looking at how or what it does, but I do use the mode occasionally. It definitely hijacks find-file and adds its own functionality.</div>

Hallo Group Members<br>
<br>
I would like to invoke some action just before file is opened. I do not<br>
see any hook that would allow it for me. find-file-hook is invoked after<br>
file is opened.<br>
<br>
Do YOu know any or have an idea on how to do it. I imagine 2 ways:<br>
- overloading find-file - I do not like it.<br>
- advising find-file. ... but maybe there is better solution:)<br>
<br>
best regards,<br>
