This file replaces ;; that behavior, for buffers visiting files and dired buffers, with a ;; uniquification that adds parts of the file name until the buffer names ;; are unique. For instance, buffers visiting /u/mernst/tmp/Makefile and ;; /usr/projects/zaphod/Makefile would be named Makefile|tmp and ;; Makefile|zaphod, respectively (instead of Makefile and Makefile<2>). ;; Other buffer name styles are also available. ;; To use this file, do (require 'uniquify) ;; and set uniquify-buffer-name-style to one of its non-nil alternative values. ;; For other options, see "User-visible variables", below. ;; A version of uniquify.el that works under Emacs 18, Emacs 19, XEmacs, ;; and InfoDock is available from the maintainer. ;; Doesn't work under NT when backslash is used as a path separator (forward ;; slash path separator works fine). To fix, check system-type against ;; 'windows-nt, write a routine that breaks paths down into components. ;; (Surprisingly, there isn't one built in.) ;;; Change Log: ;; Originally by Dick King 15 May 86 ;; Converted for Emacs 18 by Stephen Gildea ;; Make uniquify-min-dir-content 0 truly non-invasive. gildea 23 May 89 ;; Some cleanup. uniquify-min-dir-content default 0. gildea 01 Jun 89 ;; Don't rename to "".
