prompt-with-buffer-directory: preference variable
Default value: 2
The prompt-with-buffer-directory variable controls how Epsilon
uses the current directory at file prompts. When this variable is
2, the default, Epsilon inserts the current buffer's directory at
many file prompts. This makes it easy to select another file in the
same directory. You can edit the directory name, or you can begin
typing a new absolute pathname right after the inserted pathname.
Epsilon will delete the inserted pathname when it notices your
absolute pathname. This behavior is similar to Gnu Emacs's.
When prompt-with-buffer-directory is 1, Epsilon temporarily
changes to the current buffer's directory while prompting for a file
name, and interprets file names relative to the current directory.
This behavior is similar to the "pathname.e" extension available for
previous versions of Epsilon.
When prompt-with-buffer-directory is 0, Epsilon doesn't do
anything special at file prompts. This was Epsilon's default behavior
in previous versions.
