I was looking for a way to adjust dired's coloring to the terminal colors provided by '.dircolors'. I saw 'dircolors.el', but it does not seem to be helpful for dired's mode!? How can I run a function on a the currently highlighted file, e.g. I would like to tail a log file using "tail.el"? The 'tail-file' waits for a filename in the mini-buffer, but it would be nice, if it takes the actual file in dired... I know, that I run special shell commands on the current file using '!', it works pretty nice for different programs, but for a certain batch job I need to call: 'PROGRAM_NAME < CURRENT_FILE > CURRENT_FILE.log'!? Maybe, some of you a an idea!? Would be great! Regards! Fabian
