Subject: [BUG?] emacs-23.1 OSX emacsclient always opens a new frame
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2009 12:54:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <h6bcse$20q$1@reader1.panix.com> (raw)
[Using a self-compiled emacs-23.1 under i386-apple-darwin9.8.0
configured with the '--with-ns' option.]
In migrating to emacs-23, all does not seem well with the emacsclient
command. My Emacs workflow is to not use frames at all. Now, when I
invoke 'emacsclient' on a file (without any additional flags) under OSX,
it always opens a new frame. Additionally, upon launch, the new frame
presents a message of the form "Buffer 'xxx.txt' still has clients, kill
it? (yes or no)", with the code execution seeming to be at the point
after one issues the 'server-edit' ("C-x #") command. It seems like
the 'emacsclient' code doesn't really understand how to open the buffer
in the current frame, failing to wait for the server-edit command, and
then somehow recovering on the broken socket, but this is just a hunch.
Five minutes of glancing through 'emacsclient.c' wasn't particularly
helpful. But maybe my understanding of how Emacs 23 handles Frames
needs some education.
