The directory with C++ sources is: /source/ It contains the subdirectory: /source/extensions/ The tags file is: /source/TAGS The following setting in ~/.emacs does not work for me: (setq tags-file-name '("./TAGS")) The following setting works unless I jump to the source file from extensions/ subdirectory. Then it prompts me for the location of a TAGS file again. (setq tags-table-list '("./")) I would like to tell emacs to locate the TAGS file in a directory I start emacs from (/source/ in above example). I would like it to work even in the case when I start emacs as follows: cd /source emacs extensions/file.cpp visit-tags-table works correct in all above cases but it is a bit inconvenient to perform that everytime I start emacs. I don't use tags-file-name and tags-table-list settings in the same time. Thank You for help
