Subject: bug#28569: 25.2; dired-sort-toggle-or-edit vs. quote marks
Date: Sat, 23 Sep 2017 19:18:29 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87efqxhddm.fsf@jidanni.org> (raw)
User sees arguments with embedded spaces on
(info "(coreutils) Formatting file timestamps")
and tries one.
He types C-u s which runs the command dired-sort-toggle-or-edit
and at the prompt gives:
ls switches (must contain -l): -olt --time-style='+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%N %z'
Alas, it turns out if the string contains any kind of quote mark, the
entire dired screen will go blank, with the error
insert-directory: Listing directory failed but ‘access-file’ worked
