   dired-dwim-target is a variable defined in `/home/ecl/Emacs/emacs-darcs.eclig/lisp/dired.elc'.
   Its value is t


   Documentation:
   *If non-nil, Dired tries to guess a default target directory.
   This means: if there is a dired buffer displayed in the next window,
   use its current subdir, instead of the current subdir of this dired buffer.

   The target is used in the prompt for file copy, rename etc.

   You can customize this variable.

dired copy to other open dired buffer

Hi,

imagine I have two dired buffer open with different directories;
just like in e.g. mc. Is it possible to quickly copy or move files
around those to directories without typing explicitly the
destionation directory?
Would be really nice!

Regards!
Fabian

Yes: have the source in one buffer and the target in the other  
buffer, then mark and copy or move. It is necessary to put

	 '(dired-dwim-target t)

into the customisation section of ~/.emacs or to set interactively.

Hi to both,

sorry for the delay... I did somehow, send my first message using
gmane for which I need a registration...
but anyways, it works now! Thanks!

Regards!
