I've actually got a patch pending for Emacs core that would allow this -- right now save-some-buffers
won't touch special-mode
buffers, because they are not visiting a file. EBDB buffers don't visit files, and I can't pretend they do, because records might be drawn from multiple databases. My patch (which was inspired particularly by this problem with EBDB) would allow save-some-buffers
to ignore the lack of a buffer-file, so long as write-contents-functions
was non-nil.
I hope that eventually gets applied.
Wow, thanks for doing that.
I noticed that
C-x s
did not save the ebdb file. However, exiting emacs did save it. I think it would be nice if it were treated more like an ordinary file in this way.
