It is simple and clean. It maybe a bit less work, but it's certainly not "better" -- without the auto-adjustment feature, it "simply" would use absurdly large amounts of whitespace _just in case_ a file happens to be hundreds of gigabytes in size and have thousands of links. I'd rather reserve the limited space available in my dired windows for filenames (which overflow often enough even with column compression). -Miles -- Come now, if we were really planning to harm you, would we be waiting here, beside the path, in the very darkest part of the forest?
