dired-get-marked-files question

[mafeusek]

Hallo Group Members

I am visiting directory and I didn't mark any files (with `m' key). When I
invoke (dired-get-marked-files), it returns list with single element
which is file under point.

Do You know how can I figure out that no file is marked in current dired buffer
then?

best regards,
Pawel

Use the "distinguish-one-marked" argument.

If DISTINGUISH-ONE-MARKED is non-nil, then if we find just one marked file,
return (t FILENAME) instead of (FILENAME).
Don't use that together with FILTER.
