Minor Auto-Copyright Update Prob

Minor Auto-Copyright Update Prob

[gamename]

Hi

I have this in my .emacs file to auto-update copyright info

(add-hook 'after-save-hook 'copyright-update)

 it works great except that the string "Update copyright?" stays in the
mini buffer after the save completes.  How do I get the minibuffer to
clear auto-magically and go back to the normal "wrote <filename>"
string?

TIA,
-T

This means that the update takes place *after* saving.
Kind of late, don't you think?
Where did you get the idea to use after-save-hook?

Hi Stefan,

Good catch.  I copy/pasted from here:
 (add-hook 'after-save-hook 'backup-each-save)
...obviously w/o thinking it through.

What would you suggest  I do to get this functionality?

TIA

How 'bout reading the doc?
They suggest (add-hook 'write-file-hooks 'copyright-update)
or (add-hook 'before-save-hook 'copyright-update) depending on whether or
not your Emacs is recent enough to have before-save-hook.
