Kill buffer if directory name misspelled and user doesn't want to create it. Robert Delius Royar, Rodney Sparapani and I want this behaviour, as far as I can tell; Stephen Turnbull doesn't. lisp/ChangeLog addition: 2009-07-12 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * files.el (after-find-file): If the answer to "The directory containing %s does not exist. Create?" is no, kill the current buffer, since the user probably just misspelled the directory name. Thank you Rodney Sparapani!
