Re: find-file-not-found-hooks and interactive prompting...
I have been using a package called `ff-paths' for a little while
now and
it's /very/ nice for what it does.[1]
Thanks!
It adds a hook to the `find-file-not-found-hooks' that uses
locate and a
couple of other tricks to try and find the file on the file system when
it's missing.
This works really well for interactive use where it pops up a buffer
asking which file you wanted or if you meant to create a new file by
that name.
The problem I have is that it /also/ does this for things like the
PCL-CVS mode 'ignore file' functionality. So, doing that, PCL-CVS calls
find-file and I get a popup asking which '.cvsignore' I meant...
I would have to investigate this 'ignore file' functionality, which I
know nothing about.
If someone comes up with something I should know, please CC me since I
am not subscribed to xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org. If the filename ff-paths
should ignore is always the same, it would be easy for me to setup a
customizable list of exceptions it should ignore. But if there's a
classier way to implement this I'd like to know.
Thanks,
Peter
