When emacsclient is invoked with a Windows path name, the name is converted= to CYGWIN form and presented. However, there is also a buffer for a sort o= f hybrid path and that buffer has an associated file. For example: If I want c:\app\log, then emacsclient recommends /home/dougl/= c:/app/log. Emacs, on the other hand, has a buffer with the associated file= : /home/dougl/c:\app\log. When I type C-c# to finish the server session, the buffer I had been editin= g is killed, but the other buffer remains. That prevents me from visiting t= hat file again via emacsclient. The symptom can be seen in the *Messages* directory. external: emacsclient c:\cygwin\home\dougl\log *Messages*: When done with a buffer, type C-x # [edit, save, end the server session] external: emacsclient c:\cygwin\home\dougl\log (again) *Messages*: File no longer exists: /home/dougl/log/c:\cygwin\home\dougl\lo= g, write buffer to file? (y or n) I've taken a quick walk through server.el and didn't find any obvious point= to start fixing. I will look at the client code when I get a chance.=20 Should I consider this a bug? (I didn't see it in a quick search of the bug= s news group, but it is pretty big.) Is there a known work-around?
