Can you update it for the current > dired.el, and send it with a change log? How about also installing the enhancements provided by dired-details+.el? The frame-fitting enhancement need not be applied, since Emacs does not yet have my frame-fitting code. But I think some of the other enhancements could be integrated. They are: 1. Update the hide/show overlays automatically whenever you create new files or directories or rename existing files or directories. This means tweaking the definitions of `dired-byte-compile', `dired-compress', `dired-create-files' and `dired-create-directory' (instead of advising them). 2. Provide a user option, `dired-details-propagate-flag' which, if non-nil, propagates the last hide/show state you chose to the next Dired buffer you open. I also recommend: 1. Binding the toggle command to a key, such as `)'. 2. Using "" as the default value of `dired-details-hidden-string', to save screen real estate.
