It reverts when a dired buffer is reselected (e.g., find-file and then a dir that already has a buffer) and the dir has changed on disk. This is not autorevert, which I consider not as good (at least in this context) because Note that this is not the same as `auto-revert-mode' that periodically reverts at specified time intervals. from (describe-variable 'dired-auto-revert-buffer) But: What it looks like, only (?) the dired commands and find-file seem to be tuned in to this. I often go to dired buffers from the `buffer-menu', or the keys I have for `switch-to-buffer' (and even `other-window'). Of coures, I can put in tests if they lead to a dired buffer, if the dir has changed, and so on. -- underground experts united
