Aquamacs Emacs 1.3rc2 (Release Candidate 2)

Aquamacs Emacs 1.3rc2 (Release Candidate 2) is now available

I've uploaded a new release candidate for version 1.3 - please have a  
look and test if you can.

Notable changes from rc1 include bugfixes with respect to frame  
positioning on secondary displays, and, for LaTeX mode: automatic Skim  
detection (LaTeX) and PDF sync, closing frames and (my favorite) much  
improved jumping to TeX errors (C-c `) when one-buffer-one-frame mode  
is on.

You can download it here:

http://applecore.inf.ed.ac.uk/~dr/Aquamacs/beta/Aquamacs-Emacs-1.3rc2.dmg

(Please do not publish this link elsewhere. Link to http://aquamacs.org/download.shtml 
  instead. This is a beta version and not a full public release.)

Changes--- 1.3rc2

    * Bug fix: On OS X 10.5 ``Leopard'', Aquamacs consumed a lot of  
CPU power in certain rare circumstances.
    * The minibuffer history is now retained between Aquamacs sessions.
    * LaTeX editing: better support for jumping from and to the PDF if  
Skim.app is installed and used. No configuration is necessary. You can  
jump from Aquamacs to Skim with Shift-Command-Click, or with the  
AUCTeX command ``Jump to PDF'' (enter C-c C-c J RET) and back.
    * Press Command-E to use the region (selected text) for the next  
search operation (Command-F). Suggested by Mathieu Godart.
    * When using Frame Appearance Styles (especially with One Buffer

Hi David,

thanks for the great work!

> Aquamacs Emacs 1.3rc2 (Release Candidate 2) is now available

A general problem I have with aquamacs: how do I catch an application  
quit? I have the following keybindings jumping into a custom function,  
and for C-xC-c it works nicely, but Quitting through Mac OS X means  
(i.e. selecting quit in the application menu) the function is never  
entered. Any suggestions on how to achieve that?

(global-set-key "\C-x\C-c" 'jk/save-buffers-kill-emacs)
(if jk/aquamacs-p
     (global-set-key [mac-application-quit] 'jk/save-buffers-kill- 
emacs))

Thanks for fixing that, it now seems to work for me as well.

What does that mean? It does not work for me...
If I touch "küpper.txt" in Terminal.app and open the file in Aquamacs  
1.3rc2, it is called "ku"pper.txt", the same holds in dired-mode. If I  

Saving without Resource Fork

I just switched to Aquamacs from one of the other compilations, and I  
really like it.  However, there is one behavior I dislike:

When I open a file with Aquamacs, and then save it, its resource fork  
is changed so that the Finder now thinks it is an Aquamacs file.   
Since Emacs is a general purpose editor, I think this is the wrong  
thing to do in almost every case.

Is there any way to change this behavior, and have Aquamacs write the  
file but not touch the resource fork?

I'm not sure this is relevant in your case, but perhaps you could try  
to set the variable

         aquamacs-set-creator-codes-after-writing-files

to something other than 't'?

Joshua, since you've investigated this: is what Aquamacs does  
different in any way from other editors such as Textedit, Textwrangler  
or BBEdit?

Re: Saving without Resource Fork

I don't know about textwrangler or bbedit -- I'm an Emacs user and  
cannot tolerate any other text editor.

I just tried with TextEdit, and it did not write the creator codes.

Regardless, I think Emacs is different from those editors, because it  
is universal.  You can edit binaries in hex, you can edit ZIP  
archives, etc.  The best answer would be that if I open a file which  
has a creator code, that when I save, it writes that same creator  
code out.  But short of that, not writing a creator code at all is  
definitely preferable.

C-h f aquamacs-save-buffers-kill-emacs givs the following documentation:

aquamacs-save-buffers-kill-emacs is an interactive Lisp function in  
`site-start.el'.
It is bound to A-q.
(aquamacs-save-buffers-kill-emacs &optional arg)

Offer to save each buffer, then kill this Emacs process.
With prefix arg, silently save all file-visiting buffers, then kill.
Like `save-buffers-kill-emacs', except that it doesn't ask again
if modified buffers exist.

"site-start.el" links to
   /Applications/Aquamacs Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/site-lisp/site- 
start.el
but that file does not contain "aquamacs-save...", because the  
function is actually defined in aquamacs.el.

This should be fixed such that the documentation refers to the correct  
file and the hyperlink directly jumps to the function...

Greetings,
Jochen

Sounds reasonable. If a file is created in Aquamacs, I would still  
want to write the creator code. Sensible?

Re: Saving without Resource Fork

Sensible as long as I can override it with a setq.  In my workflow,  
if I want to open a file in Emacs, I always C-x C-f it open.  If I'm  
clicking it in the Finder, there is 0 chance that I want to open it  
in Emacs.  But I'm sure that's just me.
