Hi, in emacs 22.1 I had (setq default-directory "D:\/my/default/dir/") in my .emacs. This no longer works with my 22.2 - it's ignored when I run the emacs. I had to set the running directory within my windows link to runemacs.exe. Now when I want to open a file with C-x C-f there's a correct default path in a minibuffer but with backslashes as directory separators. And that annoyes me.
I just filed a bug report on the backslashes.
Though consequently tab completion switches the slashes to forward ones. Does default-directory work with 22.2?
Yes, but default-directory is buffer local. I just noticed that with CVS Emacs 23 I get the default-directory you expect in *Scratch* buffer, but not in the "welcome buffer". It is unclear to me why the default-directory is different in the "welcome buffer".
I am not sure if this is the behaviour in Emacs 22. Could you please check?
