Subject: bug#63142: 30.0.50; QUOTING_STYLE can break dired
Date: Fri, 28 Apr 2023 11:35:09 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87o7n81grh.fsf@wavexx.thregr.org> (raw)
If the environment variable QUOTING_STYLE is set, GNU "ls" can return a
format that dired doesn't like.
QUOTING_STYLE=shell will quote files with spaces such as 'a b', and
trying to interact with these files with dired results in:
dired-get-file-for-visit: File no longer exists; type g to update Dired buffer
Interestingly, even using "ls --dired" does the same if QUOTING_STYLE is
set.
Should dired handle QUOTING_STYLE (looking at the coreutils manual it
seems that other tools besides ls handle it) or should dired actively
suppress the quoting mode?
