I noticed the following regarding
org-remember-backup-directory:

  1) auto-saving does not save contents
     - solution: put (auto-save-mode 1) before or after (not
       sure which) the call to org-set-local in the
       following lines in org-remember:

        # 	  (expand-file-name
        # 	   (format-time-string "remember-%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S")
        # 	   org-remember-backup-directory))
        #     (save-buffer)
        #     (org-set-local 'auto-save-visited-file-name t))
        #   (when (save-excursion

  2) save-buffer is called before there are any contents
     - this causes files without useful content to stick
       around in the dir if the buffer is killed or
       something.
     - solution: don't save the buffer; let auto-saving do
       that work.  will this work?
  3) if you have auto-save-file-name-transforms set,
     auto-saving is done according to that variable instead
     of saving in place.
     - solution: is this an emacs bug?  i am not sure.  the
       auto-saving should be done in place, saving in
       org-remember-backup-directory and not saving in the
       place where the transforms variable tells it to save.
       perhaps each user can kludge transforms or perhaps
       emacs needs fixing?  i have reached debugging ability
       limit.

Thanks.

Done.

Usually, the template expansion will have filled in stuff like
links and initial contents, so I would prefer to keep the
save-buffer here and let the user deal with the extra files.

I am now turning that variable off, locally in the remember buffer.
Does that fix the problem?

Thanks, Carsten.  Welcome back :).

Yes, it works well in my limited testing.

However, dired-find-file does not work on the file.  It seems that it
thinks there is no buffer visiting it even though there is one.

Thanks.

I found another bug.  After an auto-save happens, if you change the
remember buffer, then do org-remember-finalize, emacs will complain
that remember-... has changed since you last saved it.  If you then
run do-auto-save and try to save it, it works.

A workaround would be to put (do-auto-save) in org-remember-finalize.
That would work perfectly, but feels kludgey.  Perhaps there is a way
to turn off checking for changes.

Thanks.

I don't seem to be able to reproduce this.

Seems OK so far in newest git.  Will monitor.

Thanks.

The bug still exists.

To reproduce, run emacs -Q --load <the minimal setup below>, remember
a task, make enough changes to trigger do-auto-save, then c-x c-s.  It
should tell you it has changed and ask if you want to save.

You will have to set 3 env vars for dirs of your choice.
I didn't want to risk making dirs for you.

(require 'cl)

(defun alpha-add-path (p) (setq load-path (cons p load-path)))

(alpha-add-path (concat (getenv "delorgsrc") "/lisp"))
(alpha-add-path (concat (getenv "delpkgbef") "/remember"))

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org$" . org-mode))

(defvar alpha-mac-font
  "-apple-courier-medium-r-normal--24-240-72-72-m-240-iso10646-1")
'(progn
  (progn
    (defconst alpha-mac-font-2
      "-apple-courier-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-240-*")
    (set-frame-font alpha-mac-font-2))
  )
(set-frame-font alpha-mac-font)

(require 'org-install)

(defvar alpha-org-map (make-sparse-keymap "alpha org map"))
(define-key global-map [f8] alpha-org-map)
(define-key alpha-org-map [f8] 'org-remember)             ;c-c r
(define-key alpha-org-map "o" 'org-open-at-point-global) ;c-c o

(require 'remember-autoloads)
(org-remember-insinuate)

(setq org-remember-templates
      `(("conversation" ?c    "* CONVERSATION %U %?\n%i")))

(add-hook 'remember-mode-hook 'delete-other-windows)
(setf org-remember-backup-directory
      (getenv "demacsremember"))
;;;(setf org-remember-backup-directory nil)
(add-hook 'org-remember-mode-hook
          (lambda () (when org-remember-backup-directory
                       (cd org-remember-backup-directory))))
(add-hook 'org-remember-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (define-key org-remember-mode-map

I am still unable to reproduce this.

Anyone?

Strange that it is not reproducible even with the minimal startup.

It happens to me every time I save a remember that is long enough to
trigger auto-save.

If org-remember-finalize

  (when buffer-file-name
    (save-buffer))

is only for org-remember-directory purposes, then perhaps running
do-auto-save instead of save-buffer will fix the bug.

Thanks.
