Subject: "open -a emacs ." on OSX behavior changed in past few weeks
Date: Thu, 09 Aug 2012 13:50:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <86ipcrg57g.fsf@red.stonehenge.com> (raw)
Starting recently, if OSX (NS) Emacs isn't running, "open -a emacs ."
starts up emacs, but doesn't open the current directory. If emacs is
already running, it opens a dired on the current directory.
Prior to "recently", it didn't matter whether Emacs was running or
not -- the current directory was opened.
This also breaks dragging a folder or file onto the icon, if Emacs isn't
yet running. Again, if emacs is already running, the old behavior is
good.
Other than telling me "never quit emacs" :), was this an intentional
change (and if so, why), or is it a bug that someone can look at?
