;;; Commentary:
;;
;; The file-cache package is an attempt to make it easy to locate files
;; by name, without having to remember exactly where they are located.
;; This is very handy when working with source trees. You can also add
;; frequently used files to the cache to create a hotlist effect.
;; The cache can be used with any interactive command which takes a
;; filename as an argument.
;;
;; It is worth noting that this package works best when most of the files
;; in the cache have unique names, or (if they have the same name) exist in
;; only a few directories. The worst case is many files all with
;; the same name and in different directories, for example a big source tree
;; with a Makefile in each directory. In such a case, you should probably
;; use an alternate strategy to find the files.
;;
;; ADDING FILES TO THE CACHE:
;;
;; Use the following functions to add items to the file cache:
;;
;;   * `file-cache-add-file': Adds a single file to the cache
;;
;;   * `file-cache-add-file-list': Adds a list of files to the cache
;;
;; The following functions use the regular expressions in
;; `file-cache-delete-regexps' to eliminate unwanted files:
;;
;;   * `file-cache-add-directory': Adds the files in a directory to the
;;     cache. You can also specify a regular expression to match the files
;;     which should be added.
;;
;;   * `file-cache-add-directory-list': Same as above, but acts on a list
;;     of directories. You can use `load-path', `exec-path' and the like.
;;
;;   * `file-cache-add-directory-using-find': Uses the `find' command to
;;     add a directory tree to the cache.
;;
;;   * `file-cache-add-directory-using-locate': Uses the `locate' command to
;;     add files matching a pattern to the cache.
;;
;;   * `file-cache-add-directory-recursively': Uses the find-lisp package to
;;     add all files matching a pattern to the cache.
;;
;; Use the function `file-cache-clear-cache' to remove all items from the
;; cache. There are a number of `file-cache-delete' functions provided
;; as well, but in general it is probably better to not worry too much
;; about extra files in the cache.
;;
;; The most convenient way to initialize the cache is with an
;; `eval-after-load' function, as noted in the ADDING FILES
;; AUTOMATICALLY section.
;;
;; FINDING FILES USING THE CACHE:
;;
;; You can use the file-cache with any function that expects a filename as
;; an argument. For example:
;;
;; 1) Invoke a function which expects a filename as an argument:
;;    M-x find-file
;;
;; 2) Begin typing a file name.
;;
;; 3) Invoke `file-cache-minibuffer-complete' (bound by default to
;; C-TAB) to complete on the filename using the cache.
;;
;; 4) When you have found a unique completion, the minibuffer contents
;; will change to the full name of that file.
;;
;; If there are a number of directories which contain the completion,
;; invoking `file-cache-minibuffer-complete' repeatedly will cycle through
;; them.
;;
;; 5) You can then edit the minibuffer contents, or press RETURN.
;;
;; It is much easier to simply try it than trying to explain it :)
;;
;;; ADDING FILES AUTOMATICALLY
;;
;; For maximum utility, you should probably define an `eval-after-load'
;; form which loads your favorite files:
;;
;;      (eval-after-load
;;       "filecache"
;;       '(progn
;; 	    (message "Loading file cache...")
;; 	    (file-cache-add-directory-using-find "~/projects")
;;	    (file-cache-add-directory-list load-path)
;;	    (file-cache-add-directory "~/")
;;	    (file-cache-add-file-list (list "~/foo/bar" "~/baz/bar"))
;; 	   ))
;;
;; If you clear and reload the cache frequently, it is probably easiest
;; to put your initializations in a function:
;;
;;   (eval-after-load
;;     "filecache"
;;      '(my-file-cache-initialize))
;;
;;   (defun my-file-cache-initialize ()
;;      (interactive)
;; 	(message "Loading file cache...")
;; 	(file-cache-add-directory-using-find "~/projects")
;;	(file-cache-add-directory-list load-path)
;;	(file-cache-add-directory "~/")
;;	(file-cache-add-file-list (list "~/foo/bar" "~/baz/bar"))
;;   ))
;;
;; Of course, you can still add files to the cache afterwards, via
;; Lisp functions.
;;
;; RELATED WORK:
;;
;; This package is a distant relative of Noah Friedman's fff utilities.
;; Our goal is pretty similar, but the implementation strategies are
;; different.
