Subject: ls-lisp, dired and --dired switch problem
Date: Tue, 13 May 2003 14:26:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E19FZne-0000Rf-00@indigo.shootybangbang.com> (raw)

eval the following:

(setq ls-lisp-use-insert-directory-program nil)
(require 'ls-lisp)

and run `dired'.

The listing isn't good (eg inverted order) because
`dired-insert-directory' heeds `dired-use-ls-dired' and concats
"--dired " on to the switches, and ls-lisp's `insert-directory' isn't
expecting it (and wants one letter args).

Maybe ls-lisp should frob `dired-use-ls-dired'.  Or it could remove
the --dired switch in its `insert-directory' like below.  WDYT?
