Subject: emacs dired: unable to view deletion list
Date: Sun, 3 Apr 2011 13:17:46 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <41b3b14c-d823-4715-a8d1-6ad54cb19a41@o15g2000prn.googlegroups.com> (raw)
this seems to be a UI bug.
in dired, type ~ to flag backup files. Then, type x to delete them.
Dired will prompt you with “Delete D [251 files] (y or n)” with a list
of files to be deleted on the top pane.
However, when you have more files to fit in a window, part of the list
is not visible, and there's no way to view them. You can't page up/
down, cant scroll it. I haven't found a way to view it.
anyone got a method?
Xah
