Personnally, I don't usually want to see such info on a continual basis. When I want to see it, I toggle briefly to see it, then go back to showing no details. If there is a use case for continually showing a subset of the information, that could perhaps be added as an enhancement. > Also, for those, like me, that does not use separate > frames, it would be useful if the dired window was split vertically to > use the extra space, maybe something like follow-mode maybe? `C-x 3', then Dired? Oh, I see, you want two or more columns for Dired, right? Yes, you can do that too: `M-x follow-mode' + `C-x 3' (repeat `C-x 3' as needed). (The toggle, however, acts on all of the Dired windows, not just one.) > How does these extensions work together with wdired.el? Dunno. Give it a try ;-).
