Save opened files across sessions
save-visited-files is a lightweight version of Desktop.el that only save the files you have open(currently). This was created because I couldn't ever get Desktop to work and wanted to persist open files across sessions. This file is the result. Installation: To install, put this file somewhere in your load-path and add the following to your .emacs file: (require 'save-visited-files) (turn-on-save-visited-files-mode) This will load the set of saved files on startup, as well as updating this list whenever the auto-save-timer is run. This does not wait to save on closing emacs because I wanted it to be useful even if emacs crashed. To save the visited files at any time, you can call M-x save-visited-files-save. M-x save-visited-files-restore will open all files saved this way. To turn off the saving of files, you need to run (turn-off-save-visited-files-mode) Changelog: 1.6 * Fix bug to add hooks after loading files, otherwise it's possible for your save file to be overwritten first. 1.5 * Fix bug where save-visited-files-restore would error if save-visited-files-location is nonexistent. 1.4 * Add to after-init-hook if run during initialization instead of restoring * immediately. 1.3 * Allow saving of dired directories. * Add save-visited-files-ignore-directories configuration variable. 1.2 * Changed default value of save-visited-files-location to ~/.emacs.d/emacs-visisted-files * Improvements/rewriting by Jonathan Kotta ** Checks save-visited-files-location is writable, and gives a message if not ** Changed to use define-minor-mode ** Moved (setq save-visited-files-already-restored t) to the end of ** save-visited-files-restore from save-visited-files-mode. ** Doesn't print a message in the echo area every time it saves the file list. 1.1 * Improvements/rewriting by Ryan Thomson ** Use auto-save-hook instead of a periodic timer ** More consistent naming conventions ** Customization ability via M-x customize-group save-visited-files ** Better handling of the temp buffer 1.0 * Initial Release
