I.e. by setting default-directory in the file-local variables you make the relative file names fail when I access the saved compilation buffer under a different name (e.g. via Tramp, NFS, sshfs, ...).
I see your point about that. Maybe the proposition by <sorry-can't-remember-who> to only add the default-directory file-local variable when the file is saved to a different directory would make it possible to reconcile our conflicting needs. Yes, it would. I find the idea that saving modifies the buffer somewhat disturbing, but time-stamp and VC can do that, so it is not outrageous. Would you like to implement that? _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
