Subject: emacsclient interactions with exiting a summary
Date: Fri, 08 May 2009 12:38:35 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87skjf2xms.fsf@transitory.lefae.org> (raw)
I have a small utility that uses emacsclient -e and inotify to have gnus
check for new news in a group when the maildir behind the group changes.
The actually backend is nnimap going through a local imap server, so
gnus isn't actually manipulating the maildirs, just imap.
The problem is that if emacsclient happens to call:
(gnus-group-jump-to-group group)
(gnus-group-get-new-news-this-group)
while I'm exiting that group's summary buffer having changed any flags
(such as removing a tick) then all the flags will be lost. Sometimes
read articles will suddenly become unread.
I would assume there is something that is being written during summary
exit that is being interfered by gnus-group-get-new-news-this-group.
I'd imagine there's some check I can do in my emacsclient call to avoid
the clash but I don't have a clue where to start looking and there's
*way* too much code to step through in the debugger.
Can anyone help me get on the right track?
Ross
