Subject: bug#70326: 30.0.50; Backup Files documentation does not match observed behaviour
Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2024 20:24:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2frvtf53e.fsf@metalevel.at> (raw)
In 19.3.2 Backup Files, we read:
"Emacs makes a backup for a file only the first time the file is saved
from a buffer."
However, when I launch Emacs with:
$ emacs -Q
and then do:
C-x C-w backup.txt RET
then the file is saved from the buffer as expected, and Emacs tells me:
"Wrote .../backup.txt"
However, even though this is the first time the file is saved from a
buffer, no backup for a file is created, and buffer-backed-up is nil.
If possible, could you please consider rephrasing the documentation so
that it accurately describes the cases where a backup file is created,
or alternatively adapt the behaviour so that it matches the current
documentation?
Thank you and all the best,
Markus
