--text follows this line-- 1. Enable dired-dwim-target and fido-mode (custom-set-varibles '(dired-dwim-target t) '(fido-mode t)) 2. Create two diretory trees, with following layout: source_tree source_tree/a.txt source_tree/b.txt source_tree/c.txt destin_tree/d.txt 3. Open two root diretory, with dired-mode, in two windows side by side. For dired-twim-target to work. 4. Mark, a.txt, b.txt, c.txt in source_tree. 5. Type `C` and `dired-twim-target` will prompt to to copy them to destin_tree 6. Type `Enter` to confirm. 7. Copy report an error, say that target must be a directory instead of `d.txt`. The expected behavior is: 3 files successfully copied to destin_tree. A known Workaournd is: Type `.` before step 6, to make sure dired selected the target directory itself, instead of something inside it.
