Re: hi-lock-buffer-mode and hi-lock-mode do not follow normal convention
I have a local fix that displays Hi in the mode line only when the list of regexps to highlight is not empty in the current buffer. This means it is displayed only when hi-lock has something to highlight. Do you think it would be useful to use this logic by default in hi-lock.el? As a user, I would love that! There's no reason for hi-lock-mode to not be enabled, as all it does is add a menu entry to the already small edit menu. Only displaying the H when hi-lock mode is doing something would be perfect! Below is a patch that implements this: Index: lisp/hi-lock.el === RCS file: /sources/emacs/emacs/lisp/hi-lock.el,v retrieving revision 1.35 diff -c -r1.35 hi-lock.el *** lisp/hi-lock.el 10 Dec 2005 11:47:28 - 1.35 --- lisp/hi-lock.el 14 Dec 2005 17:07:28 - *** *** 293,299 Hi-lock: end is found.

font-lock-add-keywords in hi-lock.el
hi-lock-mode breaks existing highlighting when its regexps cover areas highlighted by standard font-lock keywords (non-syntactic). This is especially undesirable on large highlighted areas like outline headings etc. A good solution for this problem is to append new hi-lock keywords at the end of the current highlighting list instead of adding them at the beginning. Thus hi-lock regexps always will be placed over standard highlighted keywords. A patch below sets the 3rd arg `HOW' (former `APPEND') of `font-lock-add-keywords' to t. (The parameter `OVERRIDE' of the MATCH-HIGHLIGHT form is already t on every hi-lock keyword, so this will work correctly.)

If you send a useful and clear bug fix, we will certainly use it.

At times when we want new features, we would be glad accept them from you too (assuming we like the features). The last time I offered a TODO item, the story was there was a feature freeze, but all sorts of features were going in from others. Anyway, I would rather that features I wrote several years ago looked like getting released someday. It badly needs a feature freeze to stabilize it and get a release made. I'm actually surprised people can work on improvements when you continually have to address regressions. Did you send a patch for this that we neglected? I don't want to send a patch since I've been banned from working on free software on lab systems even in my own time, and I wouldn't want contributions to be in question even though I was addressing something affecting users. I'll be out of work soon, but I won't have the proprietary systems available then. However the changes are trivial to make.

Cannot modify directory list GTK file dialog
I haven't used the menu or tool bars to visit files before, but I just tried it and visiting worked, but modifying the directory list under Browse for other folders didn't work. I started emacs -q and clicked on the file icon in the toolbar or the corresponding menu bar entry. At first I was able to add a directory to the list, but when I tried to remove it, an error message window popped up which said: Could not remove a bookmark Bookmark saving failed: Could not change file mode: waitpid() failed: No child processes Then I tried to add another directory and this time it failed with the same error message (except it said Could not add a bookmark...). Subseqently, even after starting emacs -q again, and even after deleting ~/.gtk-bookmarks, no modification of the list has been possible. As a sanity check, I tried the same in Firefox, which uses the same GTK dialog, and it worked fine there. I don't know if it's significant that, while testing the file dialog with emacs -q, I also had an Emacs session with my initializations running (I first tried the GTK file dialog there and found the same problems).

existing work on TODO items

However, could you at least reference existing work on the topics, even if it gets re-done, to avoid more wasted hacker time?

Use the locale to set up more things, such as fontsets, the default Ispell dictionary, diary format, calendar holidays and display, quoting characters and phrase boundaries, sentence endings, collation for sorting (at least for unicodes), HTTP Accept-language, patterns for directory listings and compilation messages, yes-or-no replies, common menu items when the toolkit supports it ... `locale-info' needs extending for LC_COLLATE c. [fx started on this.] The item `Improve language environment handling so that Emacs can fit better to a users locale.' would be covered by that, but as far as I remember, doing it that way was vetoed. * `Port the conservative stack marking code of Emacs' garbage collector to more systems' should note that the Boehm collector gives you that. * `Eliminate the storm of warnings concerning char/unsigned char mismatches that we get with proprietary compilers on various systems.' should say `proprietary compilers and gcc 4'. * `A function to tell you the argument pattern of functions.' is `function-arity' in http://www.loveshack.ukfsn.org/emacs/fx-misc.el. ___ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
