An improved version is now available at <http://fly.srk.fer.hr/~hniksic/emacs/savehist.el>.
FYI - I had some problems trying to use this library with Emacs 20, but if a few minor changes are made, it works well. Here are the problems I ran into: 1. (defcustom savehist-modes #o600 The reader choked on this. I changed it to this: (defcustom savehist-modes 384 ; Octal: #o600 2. (defvar savehist-coding-system (if (string-match "XEmacs" emacs-version) 'iso-2022-8 'utf-8) I had problems with the utf-8 coding system. I got this error message when I tried to save any file, after loading the library: "Removing old name: no such file or directory, <path>/#tmp#0. I could not even exit Emacs, getting the same message. When I tried to exit without saving anything, I got this error message: Invalid coding system: utf-8. I changed the code to this: (defvar savehist-coding-system nil With these simple changes, the library seems to work fine in Emacs 20. Thanks for it. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
