If there is a use case for continually showing a subset of the > information, that could perhaps be added as an enhancement. My use cases are when I want to see the newest files in a directory. Then I often sort by date and also look at files "grouped" by a certain date, to identify batches of downloaded files. I often uses the file size in combination with `g' to keep track of a file download, if it is done or not. But I almost never use the part with the permissions and user and group name. > Oh, I see, you want two or more columns for Dired, right? Yes, you can do > that too: `M-x follow-mode' + `C-x 3' (repeat `C-x 3' as needed). (The > toggle, however, acts on all of the Dired windows, not just one.) I tried that and it seems to work OK. What I was thinking was that similar to how your frames shrink, Dired could split the window and show more when you got space back from hiding details. However, maybe that would be annoying... :) > > How does these extensions work together with wdired.el? > > Dunno. Give it a try ;-). Maybe I will, maybe I will... :)
