Hello,

I'm using this dired configuration, dired+ installed from melpa

(require 'dired+)
(setq dired-dwim-target t)
(setq dired-recursive-deletes 'always)
(setq delete-by-moving-to-trash t)

(add-hook 'dired-mode-hook
 	  (lambda ()
 	    ;; Set dired-x buffer-local variables here.  For example:
 	    (dired-omit-mode 1)
	    ))

I want to have dot-files (.*) omitted:

dired-omit-files is a variable defined in `dired-x.el'.
Its value is "^\\.?#\\|^\\.$\\|^\\.\\.$"

Isn't the first regular expression for matching dot-files?

Why are they still displayed when omit-mode ist active?

Another minor question: I've not loaded dired-x. Was it pulled into from 
dired+ ?

Thanks,

Florian

No, ^\\.?# matches a file name that begins with either `#' or `.#', that is, an
autosave file or a lock file.  The other two parts match file names `.' and
`..'.

`C-h v dired-omit-files' tells you this:

  The default is to omit  `.', `..', auto-save
  files and lock files.

> Why are they still displayed when omit-mode ist active?

See above.  Try this value instead: ^#\|^[.].* - it should match all dot files
(including lock files), the directories `.' and `..', and autosave files.

Yes.  Dired+ has this code:

(require 'dired)
(require 'dired-aux)
(require 'dired-x nil t)

The last sexp means that Emacs tries to load Dired-X if it can find it, but no
error is raised if it cannot be loaded.

Hello, 

(setq dired-listing-switches "-lah")

This works fine for me.

Best regards.

Oh, sorry. I copied the other line.

(setq dired-omit-files "^\\...+$")

It hides dotfiles including "." and ".." dirs.

But it has nothing to do with `dired-omit-mode'.
So no toggle, no handling of `dired-omit-extensions', etc.

Arggh.  Please ignore.  I was looking at the other line you mistakenly sent the
first time, (setq dired-listing-switches "-lah"), and replying to that, but I
then copied your correction without reading it.
