Hello,
is there a way to make buffers expire? That is, I'd like to get rid of
buffers I've not touched in an interval of time (let's say: one day).
`midnight-mode' is meant to achieve that, but it doesn't play nicely
with Desktop mode when Emacs is restarted (read bottom of this page:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/MidnightMode).
Have you looked into this, too? Have you found a solution?
Thanks.
Hi Elena,
In ibuffer-mode, you can mark all files that have not been
modified for a given period (defaults to 72 hours) with '.'
You can also sort the list of buffer by the last time you
viewed them with 's v'.
I don't use desktop-mode, but looking at the webpage you
gave, ibuffer-mode might have the same problem.
It might be better to modify desktop-mode to record
the buffer's display time.
HTH,
Colin S. Miller
