Hi,
I got a minor error when invoking `recover-this-file'.
I saw a message from Emacs that I could recover a file.
I switched to another buffer to check out something but
didn't switch back when I invoked `recover-this-file' and
got the error:
Wrong type argument: stringp, nil
Admittedly, this is minor and was my error in doing this but
I think that Emacs should give a more informative error
message.
Thanks for your consideration.
