Hello,
I'm using this dired configuration, dired+ installed from melpa
(require 'dired+)
(setq dired-dwim-target t)
(setq dired-recursive-deletes 'always)
(setq delete-by-moving-to-trash t)
(add-hook 'dired-mode-hook
(lambda ()
;; Set dired-x buffer-local variables here. For example:
(dired-omit-mode 1)
))
I want to have dot-files (.*) omitted:
dired-omit-files is a variable defined in `dired-x.el'.
Its value is "^\\.?#\\|^\\.$\\|^\\.\\.$"
Isn't the first regular expression for matching dot-files?
Why are they still displayed when omit-mode ist active?
Another minor question: I've not loaded dired-x. Was it pulled into from
dired+ ?
Thanks,
Florian

No, ^\\.?# matches a file name that begins with either `#' or `.#', that is, an
autosave file or a lock file. The other two parts match file names `.' and
`..'.
`C-h v dired-omit-files' tells you this:
The default is to omit `.', `..', auto-save
files and lock files.
> Why are they still displayed when omit-mode ist active?
See above. Try this value instead: ^#\|^[.].* - it should match all dot files
(including lock files), the directories `.' and `..', and autosave files.

Yes. Dired+ has this code:
(require 'dired)
(require 'dired-aux)
(require 'dired-x nil t)
The last sexp means that Emacs tries to load Dired-X if it can find it, but no
error is raised if it cannot be loaded.

Hello,
(setq dired-listing-switches "-lah")
This works fine for me.
Best regards.

Oh, sorry. I copied the other line.
(setq dired-omit-files "^\\...+$")
It hides dotfiles including "." and ".." dirs.

But it has nothing to do with `dired-omit-mode'.
So no toggle, no handling of `dired-omit-extensions', etc.

Arggh. Please ignore. I was looking at the other line you mistakenly sent the
first time, (setq dired-listing-switches "-lah"), and replying to that, but I
then copied your correction without reading it.
