I noticed that my `recentf' menu of recently used files was suddenly empty. (It actually has been an issue for a while, I just got around to addressing it today.)
Looking at an old copy of my .emacs, I noticed that the mode entry in `custom-set-variables' has changed. Was '(recentf-mode t nil (recentf)) Now '(recentf-mode t) Reading the custom code, it makes sense that things are now broken. I define the `recentf-save-file' in custom and it's entry appears after the `recentf-mode' entry. Entries with a require list (the fourth member of the custom entry) are deferred so that all the customizations for the mode are complete. There's no longer a require list, so the mode is being enabled before its told where the old save file is. The lack of a require list in the custom entry is problem with all minor modes defined via `define-minor-mode'. It is only noticable if the user also customizes a variable whose name sorts after the mode variable's name and the variable is used when the mode starts. I spent some time looking at the new `define-minor-mode' code but my head exploded. Could someone with more experience with that code take a look and see what needs to be done to get the :require property on the defcustom for the mode? Thanks. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
