Hi developers,

I have a problem with Emacs sessions:
emacs version which I have currently installed is emacs-24.3

1. create a new directory, cd into it
2. emacs
3. edit a new file with a few lines, save it under the dir, stay in the file's buffer
4. M-x desktop-save, choose the created dir
5. C-x C-c
6. stay in the created dir
7. emacs

scratch buffer should be opened but it does not work at all.

I did not tested this on trunk yet.

Finally, I tried that bug also in trunk and problem is reproducible.

I would like to solve that problem. Is it a lisp code?
What is the responsible function for that?

What do you mean by "does not work at all"?  Are you saying that you
get an Emacs session where "C-x b *scratch* RET" says there's no such
buffer?  If so, I cannot reproduce this on my system.

Also, I assume that you have a call to desktop-read or to
desktop-save-mode in your init file, otherwise the saved session will
not be restored.

Presumably this is:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=999932

which actually says the opposite:
   Actual results:
   *scratch* buffer opens, there's no buffer created with the new files

Assuming the OP has enabled desktop-save-mode in .emacs, I imagine the
issue here is this change from NEWS in 24.3:

  ** `desktop-path' no longer includes the "." directory.

Yes, that's correct desktop-save-mode is in .emacs file.
Does it mean that when I am in some directory and desktop file is 
created then buffer is not loaded into *scratch*
again?

Sorry for mistification I forgot to add reference from bugzilla.

It's not really anything to do with scratch.
Try the original recipe again, but in your home directory, and you
should see how it works.

Hello Glenn,

thank you very much for your time.

I have tried your proposal but neither storing desktop file into ~/
nor into ~/.emacs.d/ helps me.

When I am in some directory like ~/abc/def
and open emacs and write some character and press M-x desktop-save
then when I open the emacs (after closing) any character is visible on 
the emacs screen (GUI)

Could you please help me what I made wrongly?

My .emacs file looks like:
(custom-set-variables
 ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 '(send-mail-function (quote mailclient-send-it)))
(custom-set-faces
 ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 )

(desktop-save-mode 1)
(put 'upcase-region 'disabled nil)

Thank you in advance

It only restores _files_ that are open at the time you use M-x desktop-save.
This feature has nothing at all to do with the scratch buffer.


The only thing that I think should be changed here is that M-x
desktop-save should not default to saving in PWD, as it does now, but to
~/.emacs.d/.
