Subject: dired-mode-hook
Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2014 15:48:53 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <155DEC68569B714B86C2C7075F5EDA9892AB0A36@DAKIYA1.pegasus.local> (raw)

There's a hook that I'd like to use with dired mode. It would position the cursor on a preferred file in that directory.

When dired-mode-hooks are called the buffer isn't yet "painted" with its contents. (For example, (point-max) returns 1.) So, all those great dired-mode functions (like dired-goto-file, which I want) don't do anything.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there some way to force the dired-mode buffer to have contents? Is it a bug in dired?

Thanks for any help.
