Subject: autosave/backup file problem
Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2012 10:09:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4FDAEDD7.3080706@yahoo.de> (raw)
Hi emacs users,
i have the problem that emacs creates
.#filename.txt
files in the directory file while working on a file. These files create
problems when I want to automatically create Software packages of the
parent folder.
Is there any way to tell emacs to create these files in a different
location?
I have put the following in my .emacs file but it seems to not change
the behaviour of the above mentioned files:
;; Put autosave files (ie #foo#) and backup files (ie foo~) in ~/.emacs.d/.
(custom-set-variables
'(auto-save-file-name-transforms '((".*" "~/.emacs.d/autosaves/\\1" t)))
'(backup-directory-alist '((".*" . "~/.emacs.d/backups/"))))
Thanks a lot for your help!
Jannis
