I suppose that is one way to see it, yes. But using md5 or other checksum/hash ways to encode names of temporary files is hardly new (though I suppose you'll say it is not new, but it *is* wrong nonetheless :) But the point is moot. Does anyone object to the version of thumbs-thumbname I proposed a few messages ago, where the resulting filename is very much like the one it generates now, but valid and with a sxhash checksum added to it to make collisions less likely? -- /L/e/k/t/u _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
