Subject: bug#28792: 26.0.60; Deleting to a custom trash directory in Dired gives error
Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2017 07:43:52 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <16dd5f8f-30db-4f31-bdbd-acd79f9f3777@default> (raw)

What Noam said.
I think the problem with the error message is not that
it was composed from multiple pieces. It is that after
those pieces have been joined the result is not a
normal message.
In particular, there should be some punctuation or other
separation between the piece that says that the thing is
not a regular file ("Non-regular file" or whatever) and
the piece that says what is not regular about it ("Is a
directory" or whatever).
This message is not normal (it is confusing):
(file-error Non-regular file Is a directory /the/file/)
This message is better (though not ideal):
file-error: Non-regular file: Is a directory, /the/file/
