Please send your dired-x.el in sed.nivo [a_t_] gmail [dot] com In my Emacs 'C-h k M-o' displayes M-o runs the command dired-omit-toggle which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `dired-x'. (dired-omit-toggle &optional FLAG) ..... I try '(dired-omit-mode 1)' , but Symbol's function definition is void: dired-omit-mode And '(dired-omit-toggle 1)' don't make any effect. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Format-of-directories-list-in-dired-t1065929.html#a2790470 Sent from the Emacs - Help forum at Nabble.com.
