Originally there was delete-dups in the default anything sources, but I removed it after a while, because for sources with large candidate sets it caused a noticable delay. For example, I have history-length set to 1000 and it was annoying I had to wait a second or so when anything was started while anything removed duplicates from the file-name-history. So this setting as a default might not appeal to most users, unless my large history setting is not common. /Tamas _______________________________________________ gnu-emacs-sources mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-emacs-sources
