Re: find-directory-p always returns nil in locate-mode on windows xp

[Peter Lee]

Kai,

Do you have any ideas why 'V' would fail in locate-mode if tramp has
been loaded?  It seems to only fail if the default-directory is "/".
I use tramp quite a bit, so I'm getting around the problem by using
the following:

(add-hook 'locate-mode-hook
          '(lambda () 
             (setq default-directory "~/")))
