Thanks. Is find-image the only function that uses these images? I do not know, but I think so. ___ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel

Isn't it better to avoid using something like "offset++" as an argument of a macro even if we know that it's currently safe. I see no danger in it--most of our macros are safe, and we keep them that way. If you think it would be cleaner to rewrite that, I don't mind if you do. But th

I still don't like this. What I don't like is that a command invoked by clicking in the mode line reads a number in the minibuffer. That seems like a bad interface design. ___ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/li
