hi
there is a nice function dired-details-hide that hides the detail columns
from a Dired buffer.

Anyone found a way to call it automatically whenever I create a new Dired
buffer?

hint: cannot do that just with a major-mode-hook or something that is
called when the buffer is created, because in the case of Find-dired, the
buffer content is added asynchronously.

Is the solution in dired-details+.el?

I don't use dired-details+.el.  I rely on what comes with Emacs itself.


Add this hook

    (add-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'dired-hide-details-mode)


When details are hidden, the dired buffer no longer looks like a dired
buffer.  So I give it a special face, as below.

    (custom-set-variables
     '(buffer-face-mode-face (quote (:background "light gray"))))

    (add-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'buffer-face-mode)

And don't have the function dired-hide-detailt-mode.  I have Emacs 24.2.1

This is a Emacs-24.4 thing.

    (add-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'dired-details-hide)

Yes.  That is exactly what I do: start Emacs with Dired details hidden.

By default, the last state (details hidden or not) is remembered and used subsequently.

Just load dired-details+.el; it loads dired-details.el.
Works in any Emacs version.

I can't load either of those on 23.4.1. Do I have to get them
somewhere first? There is no hit in the Debian "Sid" repositories
what I can see.
