dired listing (dont display ~ files)

dired listing (dont display ~ files)

[David Holden]

Hi, 

 Does anyone know how I can get emacs Dired not to display files with ~
on the end, e.g. backup files in the C-f listing of a directory.


Below is my .emacs file, I though the line

 '(dired-omit-files "^\\.?#\\|^\\.$\\|^\\.\\.$|^.*~$")

would do it but it doesn't, any ideas,

 


 thanks in advance,

     Dave.






(setq viper-mode t)
(require 'viper)

(custom-set-variables
  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste
it!
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 '(column-number-mode t)
 '(dired-omit-files "^\\.?#\\|^\\.$\\|^\\.\\.$|^.*~$")
 '(dired-omit-files-p t)
 '(frame-background-mode nil)
 '(global-font-lock-mode t nil (font-lock))
 '(mouse-wheel-mode t nil (mwheel))
 '(scroll-bar-mode (quote right))
 '(tooltip-mode t nil (tooltip))
 '(x-select-enable-clipboard t))

For me, just doing "M-o" in a dired listing is enough - see the
variable dired-omit-extensions, which includes "~".

I think you need "\\" before that last "|" for that regexp to work.

Cheers,

Edric.

Dear David,

The `dired-x.el' file provides "extra" features for dired mode. Read
the info nodes `(dired-x)Installation' and `(dired-x)Omitting Files'
for more informations.

You need to load this elisp file (`M-x load-library RET dired-x RET').
To do load it at startup, add the following in emacs init file :

(add-hook 'dired-load-hook
               (lambda ()
                 (load "dired-x")))

Then you toggle omitting of files with `dired-omit-toggle' bounded to
`M-o'.

To turn it on automagically for each dired buffer, add the following
to emacs init file :

(add-hook 'dired-mode-hook
               (lambda ()
                 (setq dired-omit-files-p t)))

The default value of `dired-omit-extensions' contains the elements of
`completion-ignored-extensions',  apriori it contains "~"...
