Subject: bug#37771: 26.3; doc for `dired-auto-revert-buffer'
Date: Tue, 15 Oct 2019 15:35:05 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <60cfbdb5-8f92-4af6-bf5a-f1f7f05bd1c6@default> (raw)
Please consider improving the doc so that it does the following:
* Explains what is meant by "visiting" a Dired buffer. The Emacs
manuals and other doc only speak about visiting a file in a buffer.
Just what constitutes "visiting" a Dired buffer? It seems like it's
sufficient to display the buffer and select its window. Is that it?
* Explains the Value Menu items in Customize - in particular, item
`Revert changed Dired buffer'.
* Explains that the option has no effect on Dired buffers containing
arbitrary file lists (i.e., whose DIRNAME is a cons). It is relevant
only for actual directory listings.
* Lists the Lisp values that correspond to the Value Menu items.
