You can change the @code{ls} -switches of an already inserted subdirectory using @kbd{C-u l}. - -In Emacs versions 22.1 and later, Dired remembers the switches, so -that reverting the buffer will not change them back to the main -directory's switches. Deleting a subdirectory forgets about its -switches. - -Using @code{dired-undo} (usually bound to @kbd{C-_} and @kbd{C-x u}) -to reinsert or delete subdirectories, that were inserted with explicit -switches, can bypass Dired's machinery for remembering (or forgetting) -switches. Deleting a subdirectory using @code{dired-undo} does not -forget its switches. When later reinserted using @kbd{i}, it will be -reinserted using its old switches. Using @code{dired-undo} to -reinsert a subdirectory that was deleted using the regular -Dired commands (not @code{dired-undo}) will originally insert it with -its old switches. However, reverting the buffer will relist it using -the buffer's default switches. If any of this yields problems, you -can easily correct the situation using @kbd{C-u i} or @kbd{C-u l}. - -Dired does not remember the @code{R} switch. Inserting a subdirectory -with switches that include the @code{R} switch is equivalent with -inserting each of its subdirectories using all remaining switches. -For instance, updating or killing a subdirectory that was inserted -with the @code{R} switch will not update or kill its subdirectories. - -The buffer's default switches do not affect subdirectories that were -inserted using explicitly specified switches. In particular, -commands such as @kbd{s}, that change the buffer's switches do not -affect such subdirectories. (They do affect subdirectories without -explicitly assigned switches, however.) - -You can make Dired forget about all subdirectory switches and relist -all subdirectories with the buffer's default switches using -@kbd{M-x dired-reset-subdir-switches}. This also reverts the Dired buffer. - -@ignore - arch-tag: e3865701-9179-4ffb-bc34-d321111c688d -@end ignore
