Hello,
I'd like to change the way that the dired buffers got their names.
For now it's juste the name of the directory, but I'd like to add
"<Dired>" as prefix for example.
Is it possible ?
Thanks

It is not customizable by design, but it should be possible:
(defadvice dired-noselect (after rename-buffer activate)
"Add <Dired> prefix to buffer name."
(with-current-buffer ad-return-value
(rename-buffer (concat "<Dired>" (buffer-name)))))

I use the following snippet to name dired buffers with absolute names:
(add-hook 'dired-after-readin-hook
(lambda ()
;; Name dired buffers by absolute directory names.
;; Use `generate-new-buffer-name' for vc-directory
;; which creates duplicate buffers.
(rename-buffer (generate-new-buffer-name dired-directory))
))
You could use something like
(rename-buffer (concat "<Dired>" (directory-file-name dired-directory)))

Ok, I'll do that.
Thanks both for your suggestions.
