I just checked in a slightly modified version. Could you test it on your
GNU Linux machine?
I like the new error message much better. But now that I think about
it, the error message could be improved even more. Instead of
"/ho,e/j/Desktop/: no such directory", how about this?
Cannot save /ho,e/jspiro/Desktop/todo.txt because directory /ho,e does not exist
I did 4 things different in my suggested example: I used the word
"because"; I added a verbose explanation of why it failed; I left
out the trailing slash on the directory name since I think it looks
better that way; and I only mentioned the nonexistent directory /ho,e
and not its subdirectories.
By the way, what can be done about the annoying "can't auto-save"
messages? I wish emacs would just auto-save to /tmp by default.
Cheers,
Jason
