27;;; Commentary:
28;;
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.
35;;
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.
42;;
43;; ADDING FILES TO THE CACHE:
44;;
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
48;;
49;; * `file-cache-add-file-list': Adds a list of files to the cache
50;;
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.
57;;
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.
60;;
61;; * `file-cache-add-directory-using-find': Uses the `find' command to
62;; add a directory tree to the cache.
63;;
64;; * `file-cache-add-directory-using-locate': Uses the `locate' command to
65;; add files matching a pattern to the cache.
66;;
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.
71;;
72;; The most convenient way to initialize the cache is with an
73;; `eval-after-load' function, as noted in the INSTALLATION section.
74;;
75;; FINDING FILES USING THE CACHE:
76;;
77;; You can use the file-cache with any function that expects a filename as
78;; an argument. For example:
79;;
80;; 1) Invoke a function which expects a filename as an argument:
81;; M-x find-file
82;;
83;; 2) Begin typing a file name.
84;;
85;; 3) Invoke `file-cache-minibuffer-complete' (bound by default to
86;; C-TAB) to complete on the filename using the cache.
87;;
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.
94;;
95;; 5) You can then edit the minibuffer contents, or press RETURN.
96;;
97;; It is much easier to simply try it than trying to explain it :)
98;;
99;;; INSTALLATION
100;;
101;; Insert the following into your .emacs:
102;;
103;; (autoload 'file-cache-minibuffer-complete "filecache" nil t)
104;;
105;; For maximum utility, you should probably define an `eval-after-load'
106;; form which loads your favorite files:
107;;
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;; ))
117;;
118;; If you clear and reload the cache frequently, it is probably easiest
119;; to put your initializations in a function:
120;;
121;; (eval-after-load
122;; "filecache"
123;; '(my-file-cache-initialize))
124;;
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;; ))
133;;
134;; Of course, you can still add files to the cache afterwards, via
135;; Lisp functions.
136;;
137;; RELATED WORK:
138;;
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.
