I use emacs 24.3.1 under CYGWIN on Windows 7.
When emacsclient is invoked with a Windows path name, the name is converted to
CYGWIN form and presented. However, there is also a buffer for a sort of hybrid
path and that buffer has an associated file.
For example: If I want c:\app\log, then emacsclient recommends
/home/dougl/c:/app/log. Emacs, on the other hand, has a buffer with the
associated file: /home/dougl/c:\app\log.
When I type C-c# to finish the server session, the buffer I had been editing is
killed, but the other buffer remains. That prevents me from visiting that file
again via emacsclient.
The symptom can be seen in the *Messages* directory.
external: emacsclient c:\cygwin\home\dougl\log
*Messages*: When done with a buffer, type C-x #
[edit, save, end the server session]
external: emacsclient c:\cygwin\home\dougl\log (again)
*Messages*: File no longer exists:
/home/dougl/log/c:\cygwin\home\dougl\log, write buffer to file? (y or n)
I've taken a quick walk through server.el and didn't find any obvious point to
start fixing. I will look at the client code when I get a chance.
Should I consider this a bug? (I didn't see it in a quick search of the bugs
news group, but it is pretty big.)
Is there a known work-around?
Thanks.
