Sorry, I made a silly mistake: the regexp `.*' matches any file, so the entry needs to be the *last* one in dired-guess-shell-alist-user. But then you have to be sure that none of the preceding entries match a directory. This will probably be true of any file ending in `.zip', `.tgz', etc. If you do have any directories whose names have endings that could also be used for non-directory files, you could wrap the command expresion in the corresponding entry in an `unless' form, e.g.: (".xyz" (unless (file-directory-p (dired-get-filename)) "shell-command") Hope that helps.
