When you open f.org, if there is an #f.org# file, Emacs will let you know:
You should recover this file
is displayed in the echo area.
Then, simply type M-x recover-this-file, and answer:
- yes, to overwrite f.org with that auto-saved version
- no, to simply delete #f.org#
FYI, I've customized the color `recover-this-file' with an orange background
in order to clearly see that Emacs has something to tell me, even if I
overlooked the msg in the echo area:
... (recover-this-file ((,class (:background "white" :background "#FF3F3F"))))
Best regards,
Seb
