For the source code and the detailed > description, see: http://github.com/Boruch-Baum/emacs-diredc AFAICT, this is a mix of: - extensions to dired-mode itself (along the lines of what is done also in dired-x, and indeed partly building on dired-x). - a layer on top of dired that provides a UI similar to that of midnight-commander (i.e. two dired buffers displayed on side-by-side windows and treated as "a unit"). I'm curious how the second aspect compares to other midnight-commander clones in Emacs like the old `mc.el` and `sunrise-commander.el`. How 'bout we add it to GNU ELPA and then we work on integrating some of the code into Dired (i.e. the part that makes sense within Dired itself)? Stefan
