I got the other code, too, > fit-frame.el > autofit-frame.el > dired-details.el ... ... the frame-fitting part is optional. ... You can no doubt imagine that without frame fitting not much would be gained by removing Dired details ... That is a critical point -- and is why you need frame fitting. If you were to use frames and did not care about permission, owner, group, size, and date, fitting the frame would make sense. I can see that someone who uses restricted software that does not make things difficult for interlopers might not care about permissions or owners -- it is like computing was 30 years ago and is very nice until you get into trouble. ... dired-details ... defines `dired-details-state' with `defvar'. Ah, I must have got an earlier version of dired-details.el, which did not define `dired-details-state'. -- Robert J.
