You mean because we always pass a directory argument, even if its only NIL and thus the will never happen?

Yes, that should work. You could also pass the buffer-file-name and bind it, appropriately parsed, to *default-pathname-defaults*.

Or should I just (declare (ignore Peter> directory))? In my experience, almost all bindings of *default-pathname-defaults* are a mistake anyway, so I would say no. __Martin
