Once dired-details.el is installed, please post a copy and we can think about which of its features we want to install. 1. Update the hide/show overlays automatically whenever you create new files or directories or rename existing files or directories. This means tweaking the definitions of `dired-byte-compile', `dired-compress', `dired-create-files' and `dired-create-directory' (instead of advising them). That sounds useful. What precisely are the "hide/show overlays", though? Which feature uses them? Is that something in dired-details? 2. Provide a user option, `dired-details-propagate-flag' which, if non-nil, propagates the last hide/show state you chose to the next Dired buffer you open. I would rather not install that.
