The change in Dired is similar to a change I installed in 2004, which was removed in 2005. The code worked but there was some sort of drawback to the idea. I don't remember what it was, but before we install a similar feature now, someone should check on this list for discussion of `dired-view-file' in Dec 2004 and make sure that the arguments there don't apply against this change. As for the changes in doc-view.el itself, would someone please install them?
