There was never such a suggestion. It's a misunderstanding if you think such a proposal was on the table. > `find-dired' has the property that what you specify > is available as default for the next time you use it. > That helps with this question of interactive support, > I think. Assuming the user invokes the command several times in the same session. But that isn't a given, not at all. For one-off invocations, having to set a variable is a nuisance. Compare with "C-x d", for example. > Remember that `find' pretty much has its own language. > Users of `find' generally need to be familiar with > that language, more or less. I _am_ familiar with that language. So for me and others like me, being able to specify command-line options in one-off invocations is a boon. Of course, if I'm the only one interested in such a feature, so be it.
