I have a couple of (I hope) simple problems using (Win32) EMACS ange-ftp support with Zope:
1) I want to use the '(setq efs-make-backup-files nil)' trick that's been mentioned previously, but being a total EMACS neophyte, I'm not sure what directory to put the '.emacs' file in. Can someone loan me a clue?
Not sure (never used Emacs under Windows) but be aware that under GNU Emacs (as opposed to XEmacs) the variable to use is 'ange-ftp-make-backup-files'.
2) If I use ange-ftp to access a Zope folder, I get a nice 'dired' listing. But when I select a DTML document/method to edit, I get another 'dired' listing containing just the selected file. If I select the file again from the new 'dired' list, I finally get the document I wanted, but the name is listed twice in the path: once as a directory, and again as the filename. Needless to say, this prevents me from saving the file (even if I chop off the extra filename, I still get errors saving the file). Anyone have any idea why this might be happening?
This sounds weird. I don't see this with XEmacs and the efs package. I'll try it with GNU Emacs (on Linux) when I get home and see if it happens there. If not maybe you need to install Linux. ;) -Doug -- Doug McNaught doug@mcnaught.org http://www.mcnaught.org/~doug
