Subject: Emacs ignores modified state of "untitled" buffer
Date: Wed, 19 May 2010 16:52:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <51707DDA-8D52-4D9F-9FD4-461987F2DEDE@nf.mpg.de> (raw)

Hello,

we have a user who wants to always open Emacs with a new "untitled" buffer so he can start writing right away without having to think of a file name first (similar to a "New Document" feature in Mac and Windows programs). If we try this in site-start.el:

(generate-new-buffer "untitled")
(switch-to-buffer "untitled")

we are almost there - Emacs starts with the new "untitled" buffer. However, if he then exits Emacs, Emacs does not warn about a modified buffer and potential data loss, although the buffer is marked dirty. How can we get the usual behaviour for this new buffer?

Many thanks in advance,
 Stefan
