I find it can be convenient for file-sorting tasks. I made a small kbd macro that did the most important part, move files from the "left" frame to the "right". There are other things that usually are convenient in this kind of file manager, and that could be emulated in emacs, switching left and right frame, keeping the buffer layout and things like that. There are other things that are very convenient in dired, like wdired, so I dont want a complete replacement, just some convenient add-ons. -- Joakim Verona www.verona.se
