That's not possible I guess. `lock-buffer' works for local files only; it needs the Emacs PID etc which is not available for file operations on remote hosts. > I note a brief discussion about this from 2001 about > verify-visited-file-modtime not being supported then but don't know > whether this is still the case. According to the Changelog, Kai has implemented it end of 2001. And it detects file changes for methods who support this. It doesn't detect it for foreign methods like ftp and smb, AFAIR. > Sincerely, > > Adrian Phillips Best regards, Michael. _______________________________________________ Tramp-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel
