Subject: [21.2]: M-x customize-group offers non-groups for customisation
Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2002 14:35:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <FC3DA3DC8D4AD311AB910020352A8FDC0BC62CBF@eagle.midas-kapiti.com> (raw)
If you do M-x customize-group RET then you can enter, e.g.,
auto-compression-mode and a customisation buffer is offered up. Problem
is, auto-compression-mode isn't a group and so the customisation buffer
is empty/confusing.
The cause is in this in customize-group:
(completing-read "Customize group: (default emacs) "
obarray
(lambda (symbol)
(or (get symbol 'custom-loads)
(get symbol 'custom-group)))
t)
where auto-compression-mode has a non-nil custom-loads property (its
custom-group property is nil).
How hard is it to make custom only offer genuine groups? Presumably too
hard.
Perhaps something meaningful can be done after customize-group does the
custom-load-symbol, e.g., say, "oh, it's not a group, but here's a
customisation buffer containing the list of groups to which it belongs"
or "oh, it's not a group, it's an X and here's the appropriate
customisation buffer to customise it".
Simon.
