My Emacs init file is "~/.emacs.d/init.el". It has numbered backups in "~/.emacs.d/.~/". It is true that with the existing fix, I can invoke dired-diff on init.el and immediately hit RET, and it will work as expected= . However, I often want to compare with an earlier backup.Therefore, I want t= o be able to: 1. Pull into the minibuffer (with M-n) the path to the latest backup, so I = could edit it to become the path of an earlier backup. Or even better, 2. Pull into the minibuffer (with M-n) the path to the latest backup, and g= et the path of earlier and earlier backups with successive invocations of M= -n. The current fix lacks both of these features. Regards --=20 =E2=80=A2 I am Brazilian.
