You are right, global revert-mode causes other issues. Can you suggest how to have it as a local file variable when the command that generates the file over-writes it? I have modified the code that produces the iCal.org file so the top line now is: # -*- coding: utf-8; auto-revert-mode: t; -*- But emacs does not seem to be obeying the command. I've restarted emacs, but when I modify that file with an external command, I still get the "changed on disk" warning. If I ESC-x auto-revert-mode it toggles to off, implying it was on. If I do that again, toggling to on, it then works correctly. Thanks, -k.
