[h-e-w] RE: ecb-source-path

[Geert Ribbers]

Hi.

Hi.

I had the same problem: this is an annoying new feature of ECB. It
synchronizes the directory buffer also now whenever you open up a file
without using ECB.
I have changed the function that causes this behaviour and now it
works satisfactory for me (1 question left, prompts made more clear):

(defun ecb-add-source-path (&optional dir alias)
  "Changed function, overridden coz user gets bothered with unexpected
unclear questions.
 Original comment:
 Add a directory to the `ecb-source-path'."
  (interactive)
  ;; we must manually cut a filename because we must not add filenames to
  ;; `ecb-source-path'!
  (let* ((my-dir (ecb-fix-filename
                  (or dir
                      (file-name-directory (read-file-name "Add source path
for ECB: ")))
;;                      (file-name-directory (read-file-name "Add source
path: ")))
                  t))
;;         (my-alias (or alias
;;                       (read-string (format "Alias for \"%s\" (empty = no
alias): "
;;                                            my-dir))))
         )
;;                                            my-dir)))))
    (setq ecb-source-path (append ecb-source-path
                                  (list (if (and alias (> (length alias) 0))
                                            (list my-dir alias) my-dir))))
    (ecb-update-directories-buffer)
    (if (y-or-n-p (format "Added directory %s to the ecb directory window,
add also for future-sessions? " my-dir))
;;    (if (y-or-n-p "Add the new source-path also for future-sessions? ")
        (customize-save-variable 'ecb-source-path ecb-source-path)
      (customize-set-variable 'ecb-source-path ecb-source-path)
      )
  ))
