Subject: | [h-e-w] auto-save.el generating invalid windows file path |
Date: | Sun, 27 Oct 2002 12:26:57 -0000 |
I have had a long standing problem using
auto-save.el where it fails to save files. I'm eventually trying to fix it
because the power went off while I was editing today.
I'm using GNU 21.2 on Windows XP Home so I'm fairly
up to date there.
I'm using auto-save.el V1.25 with a date
22/02/97.
I also have the following in my
site-start.el file
;;; ********************
;;; Load the auto-save.el package, which lets you put all of your autosave ;;; files in one place, instead of scattering them around the file system. ;;; ;; auto-save-hash-p nil ;; ange-ftp-auto-save t ;; ange-ftp-auto-save-remotely nil (require 'auto-save) (setq auto-save-directory (expand-file-name "C:/Program Files/emacs-21.2/autosave/") auto-save-hash-directory (expand-file-name "C:/Program Files/emacs-21.2/autosave/") auto-save-directory-fallback auto-save-directory auto-save-hash-p nil ;; now that we have auto-save-timeout, let's crank this up ;; for better interactive response. auto-save-interval 300 ) I'm fairly sure the problem is that the file name
generated for the auto-save file is invalid because it contains invalid
characters. I'm not 100% sure, because the error message appears and disappears
before I can get a good look at it. Any suggestions as to how I can capture the
error message?
Searching the web I have found a variety of patches
to auto-save.el but really would prefer to be given a link to a working
auto-save.el for Windows or for someone to send one to me.
