[Erc-help] Saving a buffer when the server buffer is killed already

[Gergely N. <alg...@bo...>]

Greetings!

Yet another buglet I found is that if I try to save a channel buffer
after I killed the main server buffer, I get an error saying
`selecting deleted buffer'. It's quite unfortunate, since I tend to
leave IRC in a hurry, and C-c C-l, C-x k k (kill-current-buffer) all
the buffers I encounter, and often the server buffers are not the
last..

I'll look into this tomorrow, hoping I can find a fix..

Cheers,

I read through the code, and it appreas that the problem lies in
(erc-current-nick). ERC saves the nickname information in the server
buffer. So if you kill that, erc-logfile-name-long will have
trouble to determine a nickname.

What do you think of making the log save procedure automatic on quit?
And add an option to also kill buffers on /leave and /quit?

Isn't exactly a fix :), but it is a solution...

There are buffer-local variables
erc-session-{server,port,user-full-name}. Why not make another one,
erc-session-nick? And, while we're at it, erc-session-finger-host, etc (-:
