Variable: desktop-files-not-to-save

desktop-files-not-to-save is a customizable variable defined in desktop.el.gz.

Value

"\\(\\`/[^/:]*:\\|(ftp)\\'\\)"

Documentation

Regexp identifying files whose buffers are to be excluded from saving.

The default value excludes buffers visiting remote files.

If you modify this such that buffers visiting remote files are not excluded, you may wish customizing remote-file-name-access-timeout to a non-nil value, to avoid hanging the desktop restoration because some remote host is off-line.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 23.2.
