Hello,

My wishlist proposal is: may we allow to toggle
`dired-hide-details-mode' in a wdired buffer (currently an error is
signaled in this case)?  I ask because (1) seems this would work out of
the box, and (2) it may be useful, e.g. because I started with hidden
details, already have performed some changes, and see that I need to
change something in the details also.  Or I have long filenames and thus
want to hide details although I have already switched to wdired.

Anyway, the implementation of d-h-details-mode only seems to toggle some
invisibility spec, and thus I expect no problems (will try it out
privately in the meantime).

I guess we would need a new key for it, since the binding for toggling,
"(", is bound to self-insert-command in a wdired buffer.  C-c ( maybe?

TIA,

Michael.

FWIW, I don't see this problem with Emacs 27.1
or earlier on MS Windows.

Perhaps it's a regression for Emacs > 27?
Or perhaps it's platform-dependent?  (Windows
uses `ls-lisp'; dunno whether that makes any
difference, but I don't expect it would.)

d-h-details-mode has this test since it had been added:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(unless (derived-mode-p 'dired-mode)
    (error "Not a Dired buffer"))
#+end_src

Does your wdired buffer fulfill (derived-mode-p 'dired-mode)?


Thanks,

Michael.

No.  That sexp returns nil.

And it also seems that wdired-mode never was derived from dired-mode.
So I wonder why it works for you.  Or maybe you just misunderstood what
I tried to suggest?


Thanks,

Michael.

All I tried was `emacs -Q', then Dired, then `C-x C-q',
then evaluate (derived-mode-p 'dired-mode), which
returned nil.

I used Emacs 26.3 and 27.1.  Maybe the test you show
was introduced after 27.1?  Where do you see that test?

(FWIW, I can't imagine why `wdired-mode' would ever be
derived from `dired-mode'.)

But you also said "FWIW, I don't see this problem with Emacs 27.1",
i.e. you said you don't see the error this is about.

It's the first expression in the body of `dired-hide-details-mode' and
has been there since `dired-hide-details-mode' had been added 8 years
ago AFAICT.

Regards,

Michael.

Yes.  But I was wrong.

I was using `(', not `M-x dired-hide-details-mode'.
Which means I was never using it when already in
`wdired-mode'.

If I use `M-x dired-hide-details-mode' when in `wdired-mode'
I see the error you reported.

Sorry for the noise.

I was first using `(' and then turning on `wdired-mode',
not turning on `wdired-mode' and then using
`M-x dired-hide-details-mode'.

(And I was evaling `(derived-mode-p 'dired-mode)' in
`wired-mode' - which returns nil.)

I tried it out for a bit, and it seems to work without any problems, so
I lifted the dired-mode restriction and added the key binding in Emacs 29.
