If not, see . ;;; Commentary: ;; This module provides functions and a global minor mode that lets ;; you track a central registry of desktop files. This is useful when ;; you use desktop files as project files and want to be able to ;; easily switch between them. ;;; Installation ;; This module is available both on Marmalade and MELPA, so if you ;; have either of those set-up it should be as easy as `M-x ;; install-package RET desktop-registry RET'. ;;; Usage ;; To start using it you need to have a desktop loaded in Emacs, you ;; can then use `desktop-registry-add-current-desktop' to register ;; it. If you don't have a desktop loaded, you can use ;; `desktop-registry-add-directory' to add a directory containing an ;; Emacs desktop. It is also possible to use ;; `desktop-registry-auto-register' to have desktops registered ;; automatically upon saving them. ;; After some desktops have been registered you can switch between ;; them by using `desktop-registry-change-desktop'. This will close ;; the current desktop (without saving) and open the selected one. ;; If it happens that you have accumulated quite a few desktops and ;; you would like to have an overview of them and perform some ;; management tasks, `desktop-registry-list-desktops' will show a list ;; of the registered desktops, along with an indicator if they still ;; exist on the filesystem. ;;; Configuration ;; Apart from the functions to add, remove and rename desktops, and ;; the desktop list, it is also possible to use Emacs' customize ;; interface to change, remove or add desktops in/from/to the registry ;; with the `desktop-registry-registry' user option. ;; There is also the `desktop-registry-list-switch-buffer-function' ;; user option that lets you choose which function to use to show the ;; buffer when calling `desktop-registry-list-desktops'. By default ;; this is `switch-to-buffer-other-window'. ;;; Code: (require 'desktop) (defgroup desktop-registry nil "Customization group for desktop-registry." :group 'desktop :prefix 'desktop-registry) (defcustom desktop-registry-registry nil "The main registry of desktop files.
