To replicate: mkdir testdir mkdir testsubdir touch testdir/testsubdir/testfile emacs <in emacs> M-x desktop-change-directory testdir/testsubdir/ <in emacs> C-f testdir/testsubdir/testfile <in emacs> M-x set-variable desktop-file-name-format local <in emacs> M-x desktop-save-in-desktop-dir testdir/testsubdir/ <in emacs> C-x C-c emacs <in emacs> M-x desktop-change-directory testdir/testsubdir/ The buffer tied to testdir/testsubdir/testfile will fail to restore, in spite of its path relative to the desktop file being correct in the desktop file. I found that the buffers listed in the desktop file will restore if I do the following: 1. M-x cd testdir/testsubdir 2. M-x desktop-change-directory testdir/testsubdir (buffers will fail to restore) 3. Repeat 1 & 2 (buffers will restore successfully this time around) But why should this be necessary? Shouldn't they restore if the active directory is the same as the desktop directory in the first place?
