1. Do: C-x C-f /tmp/doesnotexist/myfile RET. Emacs tells you about make-directory 2. Type something. 3. C-x C-s. Error: no such directory I suggest that Emacs not only tell the user about make-directory, but actually ask him/her in a y-n question if the directory should be created. This should happen on save. The script could be then: a. User does: C-x C-f /tmp/doesnotexist/myfile RET b. Emacs warns: Warning: Directory /tmp/doesnotexist does not exist c. User types something d. User does: C-x C-s e. Emacs asks: Create directory /tmp/doesnotexist? (y/n) f1. If yes, it (and the above directories) are created f2. If not, issue an error. The user can then do M-x make-directory as needed This allows a faster save with just one extra key (C-x C-s y) instead of having to type M-x make-directory /tmp/doesnotexist RET C-x C-s
