Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2012 06:53:45 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <F16BD753833B4BD7AA5D19DEC388918A@us.oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <handler.s.C.13485522721217.transcript@debbugs.gnu.org>
Why on earth would you relegate this to the wishlist?
This is about possible loss of user data.
I provided the fix, which takes 5 seconds to implement.
What's the problem?
Am I wrong that `write-region' does not provide for backups?
If not, then this is clearly a bug, and a pretty serious one, IMO.
bookmark.el even provides a user option, `bookmark-version-control', for
deciding whether and when to make numbered backups of the bookmark file.
AFAICT, that cannot possibly work if `write-region' does not create backups, as
is apparently the case.
FWIW, I made the same fix in Bookmark+. I just think vanilla Emacs should
benefit its users as well.
Please read the bug report again and reconsider. Thx.
