Do you > think that would be a useful feature in general? Yes. I find that useful and necessary to act upon directories based on the user defined types. Examples are: - Maildir type, with subdirectories being cur/tmp/new, it would open my email client or Emacs maildir package that I use; - DVD type, when directory has VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS to play it with vlc or mpv player; - Directory is for the archived website, and contains user defined string, it should be opened by browser. - In my system Hyperscope, directories are forgotten, but are related to a list of different other items. Each directory has its ID number. When entering such directory I would rather like to enter into the Hyperscope full list of items. By using string recognition of directory or function to recognize string, I could invoke the function. - Some directories include pictures, videos, and maybe I like to open it in a faster picture viewer than what is Emacs. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
