There's basically nothing that tells the ordinary user what the different log formats imply. Attached is a patch which changes the name to be more verbose about what the formats mean. Note that I have used #channel instead of "target" or "buffer" in this patch, because the ordinary user will most likely understand that #channel could very well be an IRC user as well. --=-=-= Content-Type: text/plain Content-Disposition: inline Content-Description: Patch === modified file 'lisp/erc/erc-log.el' --- lisp/erc/erc-log.el 2012-01-19 07:21:25 +0000 +++ lisp/erc/erc-log.el 2012-04-05 17:53:30 +0000 @@ -113,9 +113,9 @@ custom function which returns the directory part and set `erc-log-channels-directory' to its name." :group 'erc-log - :type '(choice (const :tag "Long style" erc-generate-log-file-name-long) - (const :tag "Long, but with network name rather than server" + :type '(choice (const :tag "#channel!nick@server:port.txt" erc-generate-log-file-name-long) + (const :tag "#channel!nick@network.txt" erc-generate-log-file-name-network) - (const :tag "Short" erc-generate-log-file-name-short) - (const :tag "With date" erc-generate-log-file-name-with-date) + (const :tag "#channel.txt" erc-generate-log-file-name-short) + (const :tag "#channel@date.txt" erc-generate-log-file-name-with-date) (function :tag "Other function"))) (defcustom erc-truncate-buffer-on-save nil --=-=-=-- From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Sat Oct 06 22:06:15 2012 Received: (at 11186-done) by debbugs.gnu.org; 7 Oct 2012 02:06:15 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:58826 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.72) (envelope-from ) id 1TKgFz-0007V1-DJ for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Sat, 06 Oct 2012 22:06:15 -0400 Received: from fencepost.gnu.org ([208.118.235.10]:39386 ident=Debian-exim) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.72) (envelope-from ) id 1TKgFy-0007Uv-0G for 11186-done@debbugs.gnu.org; Sat, 06 Oct 2012 22:06:14 -0400 Received: from rgm by fencepost.gnu.org with local (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1TKgFd-0002VA-SL; Sat, 06 Oct 2012 22:05:53 -0400 From: Glenn Morris To: 11186-done@debbugs.gnu.org Subject: Re: bug#11186: 24.0.92; ERC: Better names for the different log file name formats References: <86398i2hbl.fsf@dogan.se> X-Spook: ANZUS advisors Arnett SRI Taiwan Downing Street Peking X-Ran: O9\),u|v-C_DR:0f5gS[&FVjuQF%hTJW;Q2M_:2x4]AS~#C)yNgCo^a*$PIN-r,/V3Xg3J X-Hue: cyan X-Attribution: GM Date: Sat, 06 Oct 2012 22:05:53 -0400 In-Reply-To: <86398i2hbl.fsf@dogan.se> (Deniz Dogan's message of "Thu, 05 Apr 2012 19:56:30 +0200") Message-ID: User-Agent: Gnus (www.gnus.org), GNU Emacs (www.gnu.org/software/emacs/) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Spam-Score: -6.3 (------) X-Debbugs-Envelope-To: 11186-done X-BeenThere: debbugs-submit@debbugs.gnu.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.13 Precedence: list List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Errors-To: debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org X-Spam-Score: -6.3 (------) Version: 24.3 Thanks; applied to trunk.
