This is all fine and dandy. However, after you've started emacs after a crash and you hit an org-mode link, org-mode opens all kinds of files from everywhere, really fast, because it's looking for the ID of the org-mode link. The scanning actually opens the files and you are not really notified about what files has been opened and what files needs a M-x recover-this-file. You get a list in the *Messages* buffer and this list can be really long if you've not saved your work. What is the proper procedure after a crash? Is there some way to scan directories for auto save files and somehow clean up?; ie, to get a diff between the actual file and the auto save file. -- Esben Stien is b0ef@e s a http://www. s t n m irc://irc. b - i . e/%23contact sip:b0ef@ e e jid:b0ef@ n n
