Subject: bug#20943: 25.0.50; Dired buffers are not always auto-reverterd
Date: Sat, 04 Jul 2015 14:49:49 +0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87egkoi9xu.fsf@openmailbox.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <83r3ooxr21.fsf@gnu.org> (Eli Zaretskii's message of "Sat, 04 Jul 2015 11:31:02 +0300")
> Can you show a recipe for reproducing this?
Sure.
1. emacs -Q
2. Evaluate the following:
(setq
dired-dwim-target t ; guess target directory
dired-listing-switches "-GAlh --group-directories-first")
3. Open two Dired buffers side-by-side.
4. Mark some files in the first buffer with ‘m’ key.
5. Press ‘C’ and confirm copying.
6. Files will be copied into another buffer. It's best if the buffer has
some directories in it. My ‘dired-listing-switches’ tell ‘ls’ to list
directories first. But chances are newly inserted files won't respect
this. Thus we get situation that I've described in my previous
message. For the sake of clarity press ‘g’ now and see how files are
reordered. Moral here is that you generally cannot (I may be mistaken
here, this is just my opinion) reliably guess true order of files
without regeneration of Dired buffer. Well, I don't really know how
it works in details, you could analyze ‘dired-listing-switches’ and
try to emulate it, but is it worth the trouble?
I should note that concept of modified buffer is not really applicable
to Dired buffer, because it usually cannot contain anything that doesn't
exists in directory in your system. It's especially true if auto-revert
will work for modified buffers. Any time Dired buffer gets modified it
will be reverted by subsequent invocation of ‘auto-revert-handler’, thus
this state won't last longer than ‘auto-revert-interval’. I don't think
it's bad, but I think it's better to mention this consideration here.
