bs-cycle for dired buffers

bs-cycle for dired buffers

[Emory Smith]

hello,

i am using the bs-cycle function from bs.el and would like it cycle 
through my "dired by name" buffers without having to put the "+" sign 
next to every one i open in the buffer-selection-menu.

the only way i know of for adding buffers to all configurations is to 
use the "bs-must-always-show-regexp", but this seems to apply only to 
the name of the buffer rather than the buffer mode.

i was thinking perhaps one of the following would work (though im just 
beginning with lisp and dont yet know how to do either):

1.  add functionality to "bs.el" to provide a new "always-show-regexp" 
for modes as well as names. (or can it do this already?)

2.  somehow change the "dired" configuration so that all dired buffers 
have similar names (eg. "*dired*...").

thanks, emory

(add-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'my-dired-mode-hook)
(defun my-dired-mode-hook ()
  (set (make-local-variable 'bs-buffer-show-mark) 'always))
