thank you, i followed your instructions and now the backup files and
autosave files goes into .emacs.d subfolders instead of the working
folder, but I found that when i'm editing a file, there is still a
.#filename file existing, how could I also move the .#filename into a
subfolder of .emacs.d? thanks
