Subject: Re: find-file dialog in Carbon Emacs is broken
Date: Sun, 10 Oct 2004 11:15:22 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1CGfPu-0002oW-F8@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <5860A2EC-1A19-11D9-BB9A-000D93505B76@swipnet.se> (jan.h.d@swipnet.se)
Basically Emacs will have to change so that commands from the menu bar
and
tool bar call a new function that knows if this is a save or load.
We then remove the use of a dialog entirely from read-file-name.
We could define two new functions, read-input-file-name
and read-output-file-name. Would this do the job?
Replace "Open File" with "Open old file" and "New buffer".
It is not a good idea to encourage users to create a buffer to edit a
new file without specifying the file name. So instead let's have
"Open File" and "New File"; "New File" should use the Save dialog to
choose the file name.
See any problem with that?
