Hi,
I copied this in my .emacs file so that the recent file gets opened on startup:
(recentf-mode 1)
(if (file-readable-p recentf-save-file)
(if (> (length recentf-list) 0)
(find-file (car (recentf-elements 1)))))
It seems to work – when I start emacs I see my last opened file.
But then after a second, it switches the buffer back to the standard emacs start-screen.
How can I prevent this?
I have searched my .emacs file, but there is nothing else related to buffers or anything ..
thanks!

Setting `initial-buffer-choice' in your .emacs might be what you want.

How do you check if emacs is opening from clicking a file or passing in a
file argument in the terminal. I had set the function above but if I double
click a file or pass in a file on the terminal I'd prefer this to not be
activated. Instead the file clicked to be shown and to not set the
initial-buffer-choice. I figured there is a variable for the file passed in
but couldn't figure it out.
thanks

Nevermind I ended up using,
(if (file-readable-p recentf-save-file)
(if (> (length recentf-list) 0)
(if (< (length command-line-args) 2)
(setq initial-buffer-choice (car (recentf-elements 1))))))
If there is a better way then this let me know. Not sure if
command-line-args contains other commands sometimes besides files passed in
as most switches seem to be removed from my testing.
Cheers
