Subject: auto-save directory?
Date: Sat, 19 Mar 2022 05:06:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e2aab671ad0329169ecc077c8c6992617a3cc6bb.camel@adminart.net> (raw)


Hi,

I'm wondering if there is a way to have emacs put all auto-save files
into a configurable directory.  We can set `tramp-auto-save-directory`,
but there doesn't seem an equivalent option for files that are not
remote.  I couldn't find one in either the documentation, nor the source.

I'd find it nicer to have all auto-save files in one place instead of
all over the place.  Is there such an option, and if there isn't, would
that be worth making a feature request?
