27 ;;; Commentary:
29 ;; The file-cache package is an attempt to make it easy to locate files
30 ;; by name, without having to remember exactly where they are located.
31 ;; This is very handy when working with source trees. You can also add
32 ;; frequently used files to the cache to create a hotlist effect.
33 ;; The cache can be used with any interactive command which takes a
34 ;; filename as an argument.
36 ;; It is worth noting that this package works best when most of the files
37 ;; in the cache have unique names, or (if they have the same name) exist in
38 ;; only a few directories. The worst case is many files all with
39 ;; the same name and in different directories, for example a big source tree
40 ;; with a Makefile in each directory. In such a case, you should probably
41 ;; use an alternate strategy to find the files.
43 ;; ADDING FILES TO THE CACHE:
45 ;; Use the following functions to add items to the file cache:
46 ;;
47 ;; * `file-cache-add-file': Adds a single file to the cache
49 ;; * `file-cache-add-file-list': Adds a list of files to the cache
51 ;; The following functions use the regular expressions in
52 ;; `file-cache-delete-regexps' to eliminate unwanted files:
53 ;;
54 ;; * `file-cache-add-directory': Adds the files in a directory to the
55 ;; cache. You can also specify a regular expression to match the files
56 ;; which should be added.
58 ;; * `file-cache-add-directory-list': Same as above, but acts on a list
59 ;; of directories. You can use `load-path', `exec-path' and the like.
61 ;; * `file-cache-add-directory-using-find': Uses the `find' command to
62 ;; add a directory tree to the cache.
64 ;; * `file-cache-add-directory-using-locate': Uses the `locate' command to
65 ;; add files matching a pattern to the cache.
67 ;; Use the function `file-cache-clear-cache' to remove all items from the
68 ;; cache. There are a number of `file-cache-delete' functions provided
69 ;; as well, but in general it is probably better to not worry too much
70 ;; about extra files in the cache.
72 ;; The most convenient way to initialize the cache is with an
73 ;; `eval-after-load' function, as noted in the INSTALLATION section.
75 ;; FINDING FILES USING THE CACHE:
77 ;; You can use the file-cache with any function that expects a filename as
78 ;; an argument. For example:
80 ;; 1) Invoke a function which expects a filename as an argument:
81 ;; M-x find-file
83 ;; 2) Begin typing a file name.
85 ;; 3) Invoke `file-cache-minibuffer-complete' (bound by default to
86 ;; C-TAB) to complete on the filename using the cache.
88 ;; 4) When you have found a unique completion, the minibuffer contents
89 ;; will change to the full name of that file.
90 ;;
91 ;; If there are a number of directories which contain the completion,
92 ;; invoking `file-cache-minibuffer-complete' repeatedly will cycle through
93 ;; them.
95 ;; 5) You can then edit the minibuffer contents, or press RETURN.
97 ;; It is much easier to simply try it than trying to explain it :)
99 ;;; INSTALLATION
101 ;; Insert the following into your .emacs:
103 ;; (autoload 'file-cache-minibuffer-complete "filecache" nil t)
105 ;; For maximum utility, you should probably define an `eval-after-load'
106 ;; form which loads your favorite files:
108 ;; (eval-after-load
109 ;; "filecache"
110 ;; '(progn
111 ;; (message "Loading file cache...")
112 ;; (file-cache-add-directory-using-find "~/projects")
113 ;; (file-cache-add-directory-list load-path)
114 ;; (file-cache-add-directory "~/")
115 ;; (file-cache-add-file-list (list "~/foo/bar" "~/baz/bar"))
116 ;; ))
118 ;; If you clear and reload the cache frequently, it is probably easiest
119 ;; to put your initializations in a function:
121 ;; (eval-after-load
122 ;; "filecache"
123 ;; '(my-file-cache-initialize))
125 ;; (defun my-file-cache-initialize ()
126 ;; (interactive)
127 ;; (message "Loading file cache...")
128 ;; (file-cache-add-directory-using-find "~/projects")
129 ;; (file-cache-add-directory-list load-path)
130 ;; (file-cache-add-directory "~/")
131 ;; (file-cache-add-file-list (list "~/foo/bar" "~/baz/bar"))
132 ;; ))
134 ;; Of course, you can still add files to the cache afterwards, via
135 ;; Lisp functions.
137 ;; RELATED WORK:
139 ;; This package is a distant relative of Noah Friedman's fff utilities.
140 ;; Our goal is pretty similar, but the implementation strategies are
141 ;; different.
