There is a caveat about "unusual" file = names (e.g. those with leading spaces) in the documentation of = dired-use-ls-dired, so maybe this solution is not for everybody. Using the above setting is really bad: no directory listing possible = when some directory in the absolute path contains a SPACE=85 When you can install gls from the GNU Coreutils the settings (setq ls-lisp-use-insert-directory-program t) (setq insert-directory-program "gls") allow GNU Emacs 24.1 to use gls. A second problem exists with possible use of the variable = dired-listing-switches. With GNU gls I use "-ahlN" which has to be with = the system's ls "-ahlw". -- Greetings Pete The best way to accelerate a PC is 9.8 m/s=B2
