If I change to 1 it will only delete the backup file if auto-save happens first. IOW if the auto-save file exists and I make a change to my file (without recovering) and save the change before an auto-save happens then the obsolete auto-save file is not purged. If I wait for an auto-save before saving manually then the auto-save file is cleaned up. > But if my guess is right, you shouldn't have an autosave file > at all... Now that you point it out ... this is true. But I think that having auto-save ON by default is quite a good thing. > > Best regards, Michael. > Thanks _______________________________________________ Emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
