151 @chapter Introduction | |
152 | |
28669 | 153 This documents the @emph{extra} features for Dired Mode for GNU Emacs. It |
154 is derived from version 1.191 of Sebastian Kremer's @file{dired-x.el}. | |
25829 | 155 |
156 In adopting this @file{dired-x.el} to GNU Emacs v19 some material that has | |
157 been incorporated into @file{dired.el} and @file{dired-aux.el} of the GNU Emacs | |
158 19 distribution has been removed and some material was modified for agreement | |
159 with the functions in @file{dired.el} and @file{dired-aux.el}. For example, | |
160 the code using @code{gmhist} history functions was replaced with code using | |
28669 | 161 the mini-buffer history now built into GNU Emacs. Finally, a few other |
25829 | 162 features have been added and a few more functions have been bound to keys. |

367 @cindex Uninteresting files |
25829 | 368 @dfn{Omitting} a file means removing it from the directory listing. Omitting |
369 is useful for keeping Dired buffers free of ``uninteresting'' files (for | |
370 instance, auto-save, auxiliary, backup, and revision control files) so that | |
371 the user can concentrate on the interesting files. Like hidden files, omitted | |
372 files are never seen by Dired. Omitting differs from hiding in several | |
373 respects: | |
374 | |
375 @itemize @bullet | |
376 | |
377 @item | |
378 Omitting works on individual files, not on directories; an entire directory | |
379 cannot be omitted (though each of its files could be). | |

662 Based upon the name of a file, Dired tries to guess what shell |
25829 | 663 command you might want to apply to it. For example, if you have point |
664 on a file named @file{foo.tar} and you press @kbd{!}, Dired will guess | |
665 you want to @samp{tar xvf} it and suggest that as the default shell | |
666 command. | |

763 @cindex @code{ls} listings, how to peruse them in Dired |
25829 | 764 Using @dfn{Virtual Dired} means putting a buffer with Dired-like |
765 contents in Dired mode. The files described by the buffer contents need | |
766 not actually exist. This is useful if you want to peruse an @samp{ls -lR} | |
767 output file, for example one you got from an FTP server. You can use | |
768 all motion commands usually available in Dired. You can also use | |
769 it to save a Dired buffer in a file and resume it in a later session. | |
770 | |
771 @findex dired-virtual | |
772 @kindex g | |
773 @findex dired-virtual-revert | |
774 Type @kbd{M-x dired-virtual} to put the current buffer into virtual | |
775 Dired mode. You will be prompted for the top level directory of this | |
776 buffer, with a default value guessed from the buffer contents. To | |
777 convert the virtual to a real Dired buffer again, type @kbd{g} (which | |
778 calls @code{dired-virtual-revert}) in the virtual Dired buffer and | |
779 answer @samp{y}. You don't have to do this, though: you can relist | |
780 single subdirectories using @kbd{l} (@code{dired-do-redisplay}) on the subdirectory | |
781 headerline, leaving the buffer in virtual Dired mode all the time. | |
782 | |
783 @findex dired-virtual-mode | |
784 @vindex auto-mode-alist | |
785 The function @samp{dired-virtual-mode} is specially designed to turn on | |
786 virtual Dired mode from the @code{auto-mode-alist}. To edit all | |
