It thinks all backups are made by emacs, and doesn't look for simpler backup file names made by other programs... At least after loading my http://jidanni.org/comp/emacs.txt Perhaps try: mkdir .backups touch a a~ wget http://jidanni.org/comp/emacs.txt emacs -l emacs.txt . #which requires backup-dir.el
Cannot open load file: backup-dir.el
put cursor on "a" and hit M-=
