I hadn't tried it, but I just did. It seems to behave very well, allowing me to use query-replace and only replacing what it should, and the permission bit editing works nicely too. One problem I found is that it allows me to edit the last space in the " -> " string that indicates a symbolic link. If I have a symbolic link "a -> b" in the directory I'm editing, I can delete the 2nd space, leaving "a ->b", and when I hit C-c C-c, I end up with "a -> /dev/null". Doing a query replace of " " with "." when there are symlinks present also replaces the " " which follows each "->". This isn't something the patch attempted to address, but it's something that should be addressed I think. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
