refreshing all frames from files

refreshing all frames from files

[Gary Wessle]

Hi

often times I would have many files visited and thus few windows in
the frame, is there a key hit to refresh all of them at once instead
of C-x C-v for each and every one?

thanks

 the files get changed by another process and I want to view the
 changes with out having to do C-x C-v for each and every one.

I just worked up the below.  I set the key combo As C-x v, which is
unused by default.  However, you can change it.  Put it in ~/.emacs:

Matthew Flaschen
---------------------------------------------------------------------

(defun refresh-all-buffers ()
"Refreshes all buffers from disk"
(interactive)
(mapc
 (lambda (buffer)
   (if (buffer-file-name buffer)
   (find-alternate-file (buffer-file-name buffer))))
 (buffer-list)))

(global-set-key [?\C-x ?v] 'refresh-all-buffers)

`M-x global-auto-revert-mode' avoids the need to do anything explicitly.

It is *automatic* when ON. That is, just activate this minor-mode
globally and all will be okay.

You don't fire it, it will detect changes and revert (update) files.

any way to make the buffer "once it gets updated" to show the last
line and not the beginning as it does now, i.e, move the pointer down
to the end so that I can see whats just been inserted?

thanks

 From `M-x finder-commentary RET autorevert':

,----
| After reverting a file buffer, Auto Revert Mode normally puts point
| at the same position that a regular manual revert would.  However,
| there is one exception to this rule.  If point is at the end of the
| buffer before reverting, it stays at the end.  Similarly if point

| Just put point at the end of the buffer and it will stay there.
| These rules apply to file buffers. For non-file buffers, the

|
| While you can use Auto Revert Mode to tail a file, this package
| contains a third minor mode, Auto Revert Tail Mode, which does so
| more efficiently, as long as you are sure that the file will only
| change by growing at the end.  It only appends the new output,
| instead of reverting the entire buffer.  It does so even if the
| buffer contains unsaved changes.  (Because they will not be lost.)

 which gives me "Can't find library autorevert, well, that is strange
 when I just customized some autorevert options. I did not expect this
 return.

You may also want to take a look at tail-mode.el (not bundled with Emacs).
