Variable: idlwave-shell-use-truename

idlwave-shell-use-truename is a customizable variable defined in idlw-shell.el.gz.

Value

nil

Documentation

Non-nil means, use file-truename when looking for buffers.

If this variable is non-nil, Emacs will use the function file-truename to resolve symbolic links in the file paths printed by e.g., STOP commands. This means, unvisited files will be loaded under their truename. However, when a file is already visited under a different name, IDLWAVE will reuse that buffer. This option was once introduced in order to avoid multiple buffers visiting the same file. However, IDLWAVE no longer makes this mistake, so it is safe to set this option to nil.
