Suggestion: (defvar try-recover-session nil "If set, emacs will call recover-session at startup if no file args are given. recover-session will not be called in batch mode.") The message Reading directory: no such file or directory, ...auto-save-list/.saves-* at startup would get annoying after a while, so call recover-session with an argument which means it should suppress that message. Also, 'q' in the dired buffer should quit recover-session without recovering any session, and the info message at the top of the buffer should say so. -- Hallvard
