Hi,
if you cange the contents of an file(example: bla.txt) with Emacs
(running under linux) and don't save it
Emacs generates a link:
$>ls -l
lrwxrwxrwx 1 Trilobit Trilobit 36 8. Okt 00:16 .#bla.txt
-> Trilobit@***.tu-dresden.de.932
-rw-r--r-- 1 Trilobit Trilobit 0 8. Okt 00:16 bla.txt
this link is removed after the file is saved, but newly createt after a
new change of the content, that's quite disturbing.
Is there any option to tell Emacs never to create this link, or at least
to create it in another directory?
(the "autosave" option and the "make backup" option are already swtiched
off, with no result ;-( )
That's the auto-save file, so I think you didn't properly turn off
auto-save.
Note that (auto-save-mode nil) only turns off auto-save of the current
buffer, not all buffers. If you want auto-save off by default in all
buffers, set auto-save-default to nil.
