After login "." and "~" are the same place, this prevents from nothing. In my eyes a smart migration to a name *desktop_whatever*.el is a robust and straitforward solution. In case of a new creation take the new name, in case of searching an already existing desktop search first for the new name then for the "old" name.But in the future it probably would be more consistent with the rest of Emacs if desktop used user-emacs-directory in preference to the home directory, if no desktop-file already exists in the home directory.I agree, FWIW.That's already the case at least for searching: (defcustom desktop-path (list "." user-emacs-directory "~") -- Stefan
After 5 years or so drop the handling of the old scheme mentioned in the "release notes" alternative cleanup the mechanism with the intro of 24.1 . (Perhaps I'm naive)
For me the extension .desktop is associated with graphical desktops like KDE independent how long and since when emacs made use of this expression.
The lines: (setq desktop-base-file-name ".emacs-desktop.el") (desktop-save-mode 1) in ~/.emacs satisfy me. What are computers good for ? They solve problems we never had without them.
