I think this patch is useful. Perhaps, the same y-or-n-p question "Directory `%s' does not exists; create? " should be asked also in `after-find-file' (with a call to `make-directory') instead of displaying "Use M-x make-directory RET RET to create the directory and its parents" because typing `y' as an answer to this question is less to type than `M-x make-directory RET RET'. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
