how to hide emacs 26 warnings buffer ?

how to hide emacs 26 warnings buffer ?

[Zhang Jun]

I've switched to emacs 26.0.91 from 25,

when I editing a file, emacs will create '#file# backup file,
but I don't have write permission to the directory,
emacs26 will display a *warnings* buffer,
I don't like this buffer, prefer the warning message in mini-buffer.

how can I set it ?

thanks!

Indeed: when you look into the tiger's eyes,

You can set up Emacs to make backup files in a special directory.  See
the documentation of the variable backup-directory-alist.

thanks, but after install this error.el, it still display the buffer,
I checked some elisp doc and use 'advice-add' :before-util to display
"auto-save" warnings in mini-buffer.

Right, it is a warning, not an error!

But you can still use the same principle only
with a warning wrapper instead. Overload the
function. Check for unwanted messages.
On a hit, do nothing. Else, precede.

Stay tuned, I'll post some code later God
willing...
