Hi Jean,

thank you very much for your help.

I think I solved the problem for now.


In the "asciidoc.el" file I uncommented the last line:

;;(run-with-timer 1 3 #'rcd-asciidoctor-preview-buffer-as-html)

and therefore when opening emacs

it doesn’t give me this error message:
desktop file is running, it may be dangerous to...

because you said anyway:
only when I need the timer I should run it.

Kind regards

Gottfried
