M-: (setq custom-file "X")
M-x customize
do some editing
save (into X)
M-: (setq custom-file "Y")
get (from ?)
Question is "from X" or "from Y"?
Good point. I would think it should be Y.
Absolutely not. `(setq custom-file "Y")' means that you want Custom to
_write_ to Y. If you want Y to be read you have to load Y.
By the way, loading a file with a second custom-set-variables form is
not something Custom currently expects you to do. It will work fine
and can be useful, _if_ you know what you are doing. Some packages
use several files with separate `custom-set-variables' forms.
But, if you do not know Custom really well, unexpected things may happen.
If you want Y to be your Custom file, write:
(setq custom-file "Y")
(load custom-file)
in your .emacs, as the docstring of `custom-file' recommends.
Sincerely,
Luc.
