On August 11, [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: > Please change the comment, at least :) --- the current CVS Emacs is I'm pretty sure Dave actually contributed the comment, and I think this amply demonstrates my point about support for CVS Emacs. If this code is actively breaking Emacs 22 then by all means I'll take it out. The comment in question is: ;; iso-2022-7bit should be OK (but not optimal for Emacs, at least -- ;; emacs-mule would be better) with both Emacs 21 and XEmacs. Emacs ;; 22 will really need utf-8-emacs. I am certain that I, at least, cannot parse "Emacs 22 will really need utf-8-emacs." as a meaniningful sentence, but I am bloody stinking foreigner... eh... non-native speaker. I read it to mean "Emacs 22 will be UFT-8 Emacs", which it won't be. If it means "in Emacs 22 this should be utf-8", this appears wrong, according to Dave. It would be nice if the sentence made sense, whatever it was intended to mean. Oh, and my apologies--I apparently had the version from March and the current version does try to rewrite the coding cookie. I should update. > Which brings up a related question: can some sort of limited UNDO be > implemented in the .bbdb database (current session only, maybe?). See previous commentary on implementing features - if you want something like this it's best to contribute code. Note that the .bbdb file is a normal emacs file in that it doesn't autosave or anything, so you can always revert to the on-disk version if you screw things up. Fair enough. I guess when Emacs starts complaining about being unable to write out the characters, I can always interrupt the saving operation and undo the changes in .bbdb, on at a time, to try and get back to a sensible state. Rolling back to the state on the disk is another alternative, but might be less attractive if you have Emacs sessions running forever. --Boris ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ bbdb-info@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bbdb-info BBDB Home Page: http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/
