Dired: configure displayed file/folder details

Dired: configure displayed file/folder details

[Will]

Hi,

how can I tell Emacs *what* and *how* it shall display file/folder 
details in Dired?

For example, I'd like to display the complete date and time information 
for each file, not depending on the date/time of the file. At the 
moment, Dired drops the time if the file is older. Further, I'd like to 
switch off the display of user rights or file owners/groups.

Thanks for helping in advance,

Will

Basically, dired use "ls" command as its input.
You can try to customize "dired-listing-switches" variable to suit your needs
for example:
(setq dired-listing-switches "-l")	;; hide .hiding file

Does anybody know how to sort directories before or after regular
files with ls options or does some trick in dired exist for this kind
of sorting?

This doesn't answer your `ls' question, but if you use MS Windows then you
can do what you want with library `dired-sort-menu.el'. I use also
`dired-sort-menu+.el'. Key `/' toggles sorting directories first.

autoload semantic error

[Benjamin Gramlich]

Greetings,

I've encountered an error that no amount of searching has helped me
resolve. When I load a .c file normally I get this error:

File mode specification error: (error "Autoloading failed to define
function semantic-default-c-setup")

When I try parse a php buffer in MMM-mode, I get the same error. I've
turn on the toggle-debug-on-error, and was able to click on the
semantic-default-c-setup function. Which brought me to semantic-c.el in
the directory /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/cedet/semantic/bovine. I have
cedet installed because I use the JDE. 

Also, here is the function definition from semantic-c.el:

;;;###autoload
(defun semantic-default-c-setup ()
  "Set up a buffer for semantic parsing of the C language."
  (semantic-c-by--install-parser)
  (setq semantic-lex-syntax-modifications '((?> ".")
                                            (?< ".")
                                            )
        )
  
  (setq semantic-lex-analyzer #'semantic-c-lexer)
  (setq semantic-lex-spp-macro-symbol-obarray
	(semantic-lex-make-spp-table semantic-lex-c-preprocessor-symbol-map))
  (add-hook 'semantic-lex-reset-hooks 'semantic-lex-spp-reset-hook nil
t)
  )


Thank you for your time,

Try putting this in your .emacs file:

(load-file "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/cedet/semantic/bovine/semantic-
c.el")

That did the trick! Thank you for your response.

I get no such errors using the latest cedet packages.

Or better, regenerate the cedet-loaddefs file to include the autoloads
for all of CEDET (something went wrong with the initial generation for
me, maybe its a bug in pre4):

(cedet-update-autoloads "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/cedet/common/cedet-
loaddefs.el"
    "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/cedet" "cogre" "common" "contrib"
"ede" "eieio" "semantic" "semantic/bovine" "semantic/wisent"
"speedbar")

Besides the mentioned ls option --group-directories-first (for
coreutils >= 6.0) there's ls-lisp.el:

(require 'ls-lisp)
(setq ls-lisp-use-insert-directory-program nil
      ls-lisp-dirs-first t)

That is good to know, thanks Drew, Sven and Stephen for your hints.

Great, exactly what I was looking for, thanks a lot.

If you have coreutils 6.0 or higher, you can use ls' new option
--group-directories-first.  I don't know of any dired trick to achieve
this otherwise.

See the documentation of the variable `dired-listing-switches'.  Also,
if you invoke Dired with an argument, as in "C-u C-x d", it asks for
switches to pass to `ls'.

If you are on a GNU/Linux system, add "--full-time" to the switches.
If you are on Windows, this cannot be done at the moment.

Add -g and -G to `dired-listing-switches'.
