Hallöchen!
I've recently installed save-history.el by Lars R. Clausen. Now,
every time I close Emacs, it asks to re-visit the file .save-history
"literally", because currently, it is opened in some non-literally
mode. The code is rather short, so I dare to cite it here:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun save-history-save ()
"Save all histories in `save-history-varlist' to `save-history-file'"
(let ((old-buffer (current-buffer))
(histbuffer (find-file-noselect save-history-file t t)))
(switch-to-buffer histbuffer)
(if (> (buffer-size) 0)
(delete-region 1 (buffer-size)))
(insert "(setq\n")
(mapcar (lambda (x)
(if (and x (eval x))
(progn
(insert " ")
(prin1 x histbuffer)
(insert "\n '")
(if save-history-max-length
(let ((truncated (save-history-truncate-list
(eval x)
save-history-max-length)))
(prin1 truncated histbuffer))
(prin1 (eval x) histbuffer))
(insert "\n"))))
save-history-varlist)
(insert ")\n")
(basic-save-buffer)
(switch-to-buffer old-buffer)))
(defun save-history-load ()
"Load histories from `save-history-file'"
(if (file-exists-p save-history-file)
(load-file save-history-file)))
(add-hook 'after-init-hook 'save-history-load)
(add-hook 'kill-emacs-hook 'save-history-save)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
How can I achieve that the save-history-file is read in the proper
way so that re-visiting is not necessary anymore? Many thanks!
Tschö,
Torsten.

Hi,
just remembered that I used to have the same problem and checked how I fixed it:
Then I realized that I switched from "save-history.el" to "savehist.el" coming
along with CVS emacs. Does the same job. Works for me. Maybe you shouldn't
bother and make the switch, too. Checked quickly, it appears to work on Emacs
21.4...
Hope this helps...
Toto

Perfect, thanks!
