The purpose is simply for opening them (asynchronously), viewing the pdf (continuing to work in Emacs), (maybe add annotations to the pdf and save it). I use 'dired-mode' as 'file manager' and often would like to open and view pdfs in Okular. I also have other 'dired-guess-shell-alist-user' settings like opening pngs in eog or mp3s in VLC. But everytime I open a file, I get this annoying *Async Shell Command* buffer (either empty or with debug output) and I have to manually close it via C-x 0 etc. to get rid of it. I know that it might contain useful information sometimes and I wouldn't be against it appearing hidden (in the buffer list). But being distracted by this buffer in dired-mode is really unpleasant. If I only knew more emacs lisp... Cheers, Marius
