I know that there are various ways to get rid of the C's when copying files in dired. But nobody showed why they are useful in the first place in some common usage scenario justifying the current default. Therefore I think that the default of dired-keep-marker-copy should be changed to nil: - The C's are irritating and inconsistent: The marks `*' and `D' indicate that an action _will be_ performed on certain files. The C's indicate that an action _has been_ performed. - There is no future action associated with the C's (nor has anybody shown that this would be desirable) Roland
