Subject: How to switch off autobackup for files loaded from tramp?
Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2024 12:13:45 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <yqoonklplxkjst2.fsf@dod.no> (raw)
Back in September 11 2021 I added the following line to my ~/.emacs:
(add-to-list 'backup-directory-alist (cons tramp-file-name-regexp nil))
The purpose of that setting was to turn off autobackup for files loaded
from tramp, because emacs on windows went ga-ga when I tried to modify a
file that was loaded from a server that couldn't be contacted at the
time of edit (because of firewalls).
I think the setting worked back in 2021 at whatever emacs was the
current one back then.
But the setting does not work now and looking at the
backup-directory-alist documentation, I think it is because the nil
result just tells autobackup to work as default...?
Anyway: does someone have a current, working, config that will disable
autobackup on files loaded from tramp?
Thanks!
