Hi Steve,

If I have marked ('m') several files in dired-mode and use '!', I get
"No file on this line" and no choice to put in a command. I think it
has to do with the "(when (file-directory-p (dired-get-filename)))".
If you just use (".*" "(tar czf all.tar.gz ? &>/dev/null &)") as last
entry, for example, this problem does not appear.

Cheers,

Marius
