Subject: Re: Start value in minibuffer [Was: opening /tmp//foo doesn't work.]
Date: Tue, 15 Nov 2005 13:08:06 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1Ec5Dy-0004PV-6B@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <43791357.8090803@soem.dk> (message from Lars Hansen on Mon, 14 Nov 2005 23:44:39 +0100)
Yes, but only because Emacs interprets the minibuffer contents as /foo
although it is /tmp//foo.
IMHO that is not very elegant. And it does not work as a general
approach: Consider some command with initial value foo, and imagine the
user types bar. How would Emacs know if he means foobar (minibuffer
contents) or just bar?
Could we please drop this argument? I'm not going to change this, and
the discussion is a distraction from work that needs to be done.
