Indeed, auto-image-file-mode is useful only for viewing images. OTOH, editing image files as plain text in Emacs is a rare operation too. And even with auto-image-file-mode set to t, editing is possible after visiting them with find-file-literally. With all this said, I have a question: is there any reason not to turn auto-image-file-mode on by default? I would like to ask the same question for auto-compression-mode too. What is the reason not to turn it on by default? How often people visit compressed files for editing without uncompressing? -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/ _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
