Hi.
Still learning Emacs but happy with it so far. One thing i’m trying to find out is this. I’m OK with Emacs creating recovery files from which i can, well, recover my work after emacs is closed. However, if I save my files, I have no need for these #filename# or filename~ files that populate my folders. Is there a way to make emacs keep creating these recovery files, but deleting them if I *save* my actual files?
That’s what git is for, or just having undo-tree from which the file can be reverted to a previous state.
I tried to keep auto-saves and backup files in their own separate directory, since they always litter my projects which is annoying, but they just won’t listen, I have to disable them.
