Hello This is a bizarre problem. Consider the function vc-register. I can call it interactively or I can put it in the after-save-hook (just for testing purposes) (add-hook (make-local-variable 'after-save-hook) 'vc-register) And it behaves as expected. However I have a second function ensure-in-vc-or-check-in, (see below) that function should checkin or register the file, when called interactively it behaves as expected. When putting it in the above hook (add-hook (make-local-variable 'after-save-hook) 'ensure-in-vc-or-check-in) Then it behaves as expected concerning the checkin but when it has to register a file the VC-log buffer for the initial comment is not displayed! It is there but not displayed so completing the register is cumbersome. Anybody can explain this to me? Thanks Uwe Brauer (defun ensure-in-vc-or-check-in () "Automatically checkin file ,v can be in the same directory or in the subdirectory RCS. The idea is to call that function only for files not for buffers. See the function ensure-in-vc-or-check-in-modes which could be use in an apropriate HOOK." (interactive) (when (buffer-file-name) (if (or (and (file-exists-p (format "%s,v" (buffer-file-name)))) (and (file-exists-p (format "RCS/%s,v" (file-name-nondirectory buffer-file-name))))) (progn (vc-checkin (buffer-file-name) nil "") (vc-toggle-read-only) (message "Checked in")) (progn (vc-register))))) _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
