Good idea. > How do we prevent autorevert.el from using inappropriate > revert-buffer-function's? I'm not sure. Maybe the way is to make all revert-buffer-functions be appropriate. If I understand your message correctly, then the problem with the buffer menu revert function is that it pops up the window even if it wasn't visible before. Then, for this case, one approach would be to change the revert function to just update the contents of the buffer menu buffer, instead of also popping up the window. > Would anybody actually find auto-reverting the buffer-menu useful? Oh, yes! Quite often, I'm wondering about the strange list of buffers, because I'm not aware that I need to revert the buffer. (Though I use ibuffer these days.) > It might be a good test case, but I do not know whether it really > would be useful enough. Or are there any other non-file, non-vc, > non-dired buffers people would like to autorevert? The *compilation* buffers currently have a function that reruns the compilation, I think. Maybe it would be good to just remove that, and require people to use M-x recompile RET instead. Hooking recompilation into reverting seems wrong to me, anyhow. But that's just my taste. Kai
