* bug#32967: dired-do-rename: don't say overwrite when you really mean attach as child @ 2018-10-07 12:31 積丹尼 Dan Jacobson 2019-07-11 15:58 ` Lars Ingebrigtsen 0 siblings, 1 reply; 3+ messages in thread From: 積丹尼 Dan Jacobson @ 2018-10-07 12:31 UTC (permalink / raw) To: 32967 R runs the command dired-do-rename (found in dired-mode-map) It says e.g., Overwrite ‘/tmp/201840’? [Type yn!q or C-h] That is great, but it just uses the same message for all cases: file->file file->directory directory->file directory->directory. At least the case I tested: directory->directory, overwriting is very much different that what really happens (attaching as child). emacs-version "25.2.2" Yes I'm sure I reported this before. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

I'm not sure what you're referring to here. Do you have a test case? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
