Subject: Bookmark Plus: Bookmarking "locate"d files
Date: Tue, 03 Feb 2015 16:07:41 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87zj8ug0v6.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)

I follow a regular process in my note-taking and can create a locate command that returns a complete list of my note org files within a portion of my directory heirarchy. I had hoped the results of (locate) would count as an occur/compilation buffer; it even partially works as a dired buffer. But whenever I try the dired bookmark command after marking the results, I am told the command is only available in dired or dired-derived modes (which, I was sure, the results of locate were). 

In following http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BookmarkPlus#toc33, How can I bookmark such a list of files? Is it a bug that I cannot do it from the "locate" buffer?
