(stringp buffer-auto-save-file-name)) Does it have an auto-save-file? (when (and (buffer-file-name) Is this buffer associated with a file? "Ensure that the directory of `buffer-auto-save-file-name' exists. Restart of emacs required after changes." The real auto save directory name is created by appending the UID of the user. (defcustom auto-save-dir-base "/var/tmp/emacs-auto-save" Note that you should adapt the value of the option auto-save-dir-base to the needs of your operating system. But, make sure that there is no other part of your initialization fiddling with auto-save-file-name-transforms! Maybe the only entry in auto-save-file-name-transforms which you can keep is the one for tramp. If you want to try this strategy put the following stuff into your init file. That is possible in auto-save-hook which is run just before saving the auto-save file. In that case you have to make sure that the directory component of the buffer-auto-save-file-name refers to an existing directory. If the optional element UNIQUIFY is non-nil, the auto-save file name isĬonstructed by taking the directory part of the replaced file-name,Ĭoncatenated with the buffer file name with all directory separators Transforms to apply to buffer file name before making auto-save file name.Įach transform is a list (REGEXP REPLACEMENT UNIQUIFY): You can avoid the removal of the directory component of auto-save files by setting the UNIQUIFY component in the entries of the variable auto-save-file-name-transforms to nil.įrom the doc of auto-save-file-name-transforms:

EMACS SAVE FILE HOW TO
This page helped me solve the same problem for backup files ("How to set emacs so backups in one place with tree structure?") but I can't seem to figure out how to solve it for auto-save files. How do I get auto-save to work for these files? Additional info
When editing files many directories down, I get an error message like this (which I partly censored because it got someone else's name in it): It works, but only for files on "shallow" levels of my deep directory tree. I found different solutions for keeping auto-save files out of the directory where the original file is located on the internet, including (defconst emacs-tmp-dir (format "%s/%s%s/" "/t" "emacs" (user-uid)))
