Subject: backup files and autosave files
Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2009 02:11:08 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0c36ac73-2dbb-4770-be5a-28786c3f1507@s15g2000yqs.googlegroups.com> (raw)
I want my backup and autosave files not scattered over my HD.
For this I tried:
(if (file-directory-p "~/.emacs.d/backup")
(setq backup-directory-alist '(("." . "~/.emacs.d/backup")))
(message "Directory does not exist: ~/.emacs.d/backup"))
(if (file-directory-p "~/.emacs.d/autosave")
(setq auto-save-file-name-transforms `((".*" "~/.emacs.d/
autosave/\\1" t)))
(message "Directory does not exist: ~/.emacs.d/autosave"))
For backups this works. But my autosave files are saved as:
~/.emacs.d/autosave/#\1#
What do I need to do to get the same type of files with autosave as
with backup?
