Subject: bug#5591: 23.1.92; bookmark.el and file path
Date: Wed, 17 Feb 2010 19:48:59 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1r5ojfxsk.fsf@cam.ac.uk> (raw)
If you open a file in your home directory and bookmark it, the path in
bookmark list (C-x r l) will be something beginning with ~ for example:
~/Emacs/gtd/Tasks.org.
However, if the directory gtd does not exist and you use bookmark's
relocation to change to a new file, say ~/Emacs/todo/Tasks.org. The path
in bookmark list will be a absolute path:
/home/someone/Emacs/todo/Tasks.org.
Using a absolute path here is not a good idea. For example I sync some
directories between machines and I don't have the same user name on all
of them. And these bookmarks will fail.
Another case. I recently installed Snow Leopard and decided to create a
different user name for myself. But I find out many bookmarks are no
longer valid due to the use of absolute paths.
