The Emacs manual says: ,---- File: emacs, Node: Visiting ---- | If you try to visit a file larger than | `large-file-warning-threshold' (the default is 10000000, which is about | 10 megabytes), Emacs will ask you for confirmation first. `----
Should `M-x insert-file' also check the file size and ask for confirmation? Note that the variable's doc string doesn't say what file operations it applies to: ,----[ C-h v large-file-warning-threshold RET ] | large-file-warning-threshold is a variable defined in `files.el'. | Its value is 10000000 | | Documentation: | Maximum size of file above which a confirmation is requested. | When nil, never request confirmation. | | You can customize this variable. | | [back] `---- -- Kevin _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
