From 63c88b9616a7d9f25ee1d466fbdd74792dec9a37 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robin Haberkorn Date: Sat, 7 Mar 2015 19:00:46 +0100 Subject: changed save point file format to .teco--~ * It is no longer possible to accidentally open save point files of the same or another SciTECO instance when typing something like EB*.cpp$ * The use of a trailing ~ is common among editors. These files will be recognized more easily as temporary by users. * People will often already have VCS ignore rules for files with trailing tilde. Therefore SciTECO savepoints will often be already ignored by VCS. * Since they still have a unique ".teco" prefix, they will not be confused by other programs as backup files. * Also mention in sciteco(1) that save point files are hidden on Windows. --- doc/sciteco.1.in | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc') diff --git a/doc/sciteco.1.in b/doc/sciteco.1.in index 7e3b0c3..6bc0f98 100644 --- a/doc/sciteco.1.in +++ b/doc/sciteco.1.in @@ -183,10 +183,12 @@ and opening files specified on the command line. .B $SCITECOPATH/*.tes Standard library macros. .TP -.BI .teco- x - filename +.BI .teco- n - filename ~ Save point files created by \*(ST when saving files during interactive execution have this format. -These files can be ignored by version control systems, etc. +On Windows, these files have the hidden attribute set. +Savepoint files are temporary and should be ignored by version +control systems, etc. .TP .B $SCITECOCONFIG/.teco_session Macro storing the default buffer session. -- cgit v1.2.3
