when I use C-x C-f, it will open a dir and show the file list, first col is
drwxr-xr-x, 3rd col is file  owner name and group name, I don't want these,
because the file name is in the end and hardly cannot be see, please tell me
how to hide the useless information.

I have tried the Dired List Switch, I must use the -l option, this way is
dead.

thanks.

Is there any way to hide only file permissions, owner and group
so I see only file size, date and file name?

So instead of

	-rw-r--r--   1 pete admin   39940 23. Mär 16:03 a file

you would like to see this?

	1   39940 23. Mär 16:03 a file

You could filter as in:

	gls -AlGg | cut -c 12-
	gls -Algo | cut -c 12-

Not with Dired Details, out of the box, but you could write it yourself,
starting with the existing Lisp code. See, for example,
`dired-details-make-current-line-overlay', which is what currently hides
everything except the file name.

Or try to fiddle with `ls' switches (depending on your `ls'). Or filter
afterward, as Peter suggested.

Dired Details is enough for me. Just hit a key to toggle - that's what I do if I
want to see specific dates etc. at any time. (If you just want to sort by date,
not caring about the dates of specific files, just use `s' in Dired.)

FWIW - Rob Giardina, who wrote Dired Details, merged it into the Emacs 23 code
in 2007-07, but the change was never committed, AFAIK. RMS asked for comment on
the merged code, but no one ever answered his request (on the list, at least).
The last time I ping'ed emacs-devel about this was 2008-07 - I never got an
answer either.

doesn't this do the job?
(setq dired-listing-switches "-agG")

I use -alDphgG (for bash), the trick is done by: -gG
