If I work on a tex-Document with some includes and some graphics, a directory can get pretty crowded, thus I don't want to have further files which are pretty useless to me. The only useful situation I can imagine for having a separate file for auto-saving is if the System, Machine or Application crashes while emacs does autosaving. This sounds rather unlikely to me. Further more I do always backup my Work after I finished a days work on to different media thus I can afford the risk which auto-saving in the file in use causes. But I wouldn't mind if this function disappears. If it would work it would just be a "nice to have". best regards Stephan
