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
