(I was requested to run dired-report-bug, however when I try to send the mail, the message "`smtpmail-smtp-server' not defined" is displayed. Therefore, I am sending this via gmail.)
I started with 21.4 (Educational Television) install of XEmacs on winxp. The problem does not appear with this version. I then updated dired to 1.18 via Tools|Packages. Now if the file has size of 999 or less in dired, then it can be viewed. However, if the file size is 1000 or more then viewing the file will result in a problem when viewing the file. For example if the dired line is "2420 Dec 26 22:21 build.xml" then viewing the build.xml file will bring up a window for "21 build.xml". Also, X-d will result in "d:\hib-helloworld\Dec 26 22:" in the minibuffer. --glenn Emacs : XEmacs 21.4 (patch 21) "Educational Television" [Lucid] (i586-pc-win32) of Sun Oct 07 2007 on VSHELTON-PC2 Package: Dired current state: ============== (setq dired-version "7.15" dired-backup-if-overwrite nil dired-chown-program "/etc/chown" dired-cleanup-alist '(("tex" ".toc" ".log" ".aux" ".dvi") ("latex" ".toc" ".log" ".aux" ".idx" ".lof" ".lot" ".glo" ".dvi") ("bibtex" ".blg" ".bbl") ("texinfo" ".cp" ".cps" ".fn" ".fns" ".ky" ".kys" ".pg" ".pgs" ".tp" ".tps" ".vr" ".vrs") ("patch" ".rej" ".orig") ("backups" "~") ("completion-ignored-extensions" ".svn/" "CVS/" ".o" ".obj" ".elc" "~" ".bin" ".lbin" ".dvi" ".class")) dired-compression-method 'gzip dired-compression-method-alist '((gzip ".gz" ("gzip") ("gzip" "-d") "-f") (compress ".Z" ("compress" "-f") ("compress" "-d") "-f") (pack ".z" ("pack" "-f") ("unpack")) (compact ".C" ("compact") ("uncompact")) (bzip2 ".bz2" ("bzip2") ("bunzip2") "-f")) dired-copy-preserve-time t dired-dwim-target nil dired-failed-marker-shell ?! dired-filename-re-ext "\\..+\\'" dired-find-subdir nil dired-gnutar-program nil dired-keep-marker-compress t dired-keep-marker-copy ?C dired-keep-marker-hardlink ?H dired-keep-marker-kill ?K dired-keep-marker-rename t dired-keep-marker-symlink ?S dired-keep-marker-uucode ?U dired-kept-versions 2 dired-listing-switches "-al" dired-local-variables-file ".dired" dired-ls-F-marks-symlinks nil dired-ls-locale nil dired-ls-program "ls" dired-mail-reader 'vm dired-mode-line-modified "-%s%s%s-" dired-no-confirm nil dired-omit-extensions '(".class" ".lbin" ".bin" ".elc" ".obj" ".o" "CVS/" ".svn/" "~" ".orig" ".rej" ".vrs" ".vr" ".tps" ".tp" ".pgs" ".pg" ".kys" ".ky" ".fns" ".fn" ".cps" ".cp" ".bbl" ".blg" ".glo" ".lot" ".lof" ".idx" ".dvi" ".aux" ".log" ".toc") dired-omit-files nil dired-omit-regexps '("\\`#" "\\`\\.") dired-refresh-automatically t dired-show-ls-switches nil dired-trivial-filenames "\\`\\.\\.?\\'\\|\\`#" dired-unshar-program nil dired-use-file-transformers t dired-verify-modtimes t reporter-version "Your version of reporter is obsolete.
