Subject: bug#20832: 25.0.50; todo-show accidentally deleted my todo file.
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2015 07:39:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <86h9q67v0w.fsf@members.fsf.org> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 352 bytes --]
I managed to lose my todo-mode.el todo file. I don't really know how
this happened, I guess it was a combination of showing the todo file
while in the minibuffer and hitting C-g, but I noticed it too late, and
then could not reproduce.
In any case, I suspect that todo-mode.el itself deleted it, so I suggest
the following patch as a safety measure.
