Has any thought been given to handling backups similarly to *mg*, rather=
than sprinkling them all over the filesystem like *emacsen* do by defau=
lt?
BACKUP FILES
Backup files have a =E2=80=98~=E2=80=99 character appended to the f=
ile name and are created in the current working
directory by default. Whether to create backup files or not can be=
toggled with the make-backup-files
command. The backup file location can either be in the current wor=
king directory, or all backups can
be moved to a ~/.mg.d directory where files retain their path name =
to retain uniqueness. Use the
backup-to-home-directory to alternate between these two locations. =
Further, if any application creates
backup files in /tmp, these can be left with the leave-tmpdir-backu=
ps command.
qemacs does the first, does not do the second.
Thanks!
