I did a lot of hacking on planner and emacs-wiki recently, with the goal of eliminating the possibility of overwriting your Planner/emacs-wiki files by accident via a "Save buffer *temp*<1>" message.

One inevitable result of this is that you will probably have to update the content of the <lisp> tags in your headers and footers slightly. If you've updated to my latest development tarball or replayed my most recent Arch changes, you should do the following.

• Change any use of `buffer-file-name' to `emacs-wiki-current-file'.

The `emacs-wiki-current-file' variable is only set at publish time, and contains the name (and path) of the file that is currently being published.

Planner note

This required two or three changes to Planner, so I've added a few more patches to my planner—mwolson—1.0 branch to deal with this. The branch information follows.

Archive: mwolson@gnu.org--2005
Branch: planner--mwolson--1.0
Location: http://www.mwolson.org/archives/2005
Patches: 3-9

Muse note

Muse already implements this protection. I added a `muse-current-file' to Muse so that it would be easier to migrate from emacs-wiki in the future.

Please let me know if you experience any problems or unexpected side effects from these recent changes, as I will probably put together Release Candidate 3 of emacs-wiki next week.

Reminder: If you use Planner and update to the latest emacs-wiki changes, you will need my patches to Planner in order for things to work smoothly.
