alternatives to dired

alternatives to dired

[ftrw]

Hi,

Is there a similar package to dired that allows one to not display
permissions, owner and group in the directory listing?  Or is this
possible in dired?  It seems like the dired switches must have 'l' to
display the full long format.

Thanks,
Ryan

You could try monkey:

To surpress the group you can add a 'G' to the end of 
dired-listing-switches.

I would be nice if we could specify the program to use other than ls,
then you could filter the output from ls.

When in emacs I do "C-h f dired", emacs says:

dired is an interactive autoloaded Lisp function in `dired'.

"Edit" directory DIRNAME--delete, rename, print, etc. some files in it.
Optional second argument SWITCHES specifies the `ls' options used.
(Interactively, use a prefix argument to be able to specify SWITCHES.)

Sounds like it might be helpful.

You can also set the switches for a long and short (gotten to by C-x C-d) 
listing. The problem is, unless there is a -l switch present, dired doesn't 
function.
