Why not add this command to the Mark menu? It could be called "Mark Extension...".
Because it is not part of Dired. Well, the exact command I described (prefix arg means unmark) is not the existing command in dired-x either - it doesn't exist yet. It could be _added_ to dired, if people find it useful. I know that I mark all files with the same extension a _lot_ more often than I use some of the other menu items. 3. Why not add `dired-mark-symlinks' (`*@') to the Mark menu? It could be called "Mark Symlinks". It is already there. Not in my Emacs -q, it isn't. What are you doing, to get it in the menu? The command is bound to the key sequence, but it is not in the Mark menu. In GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2005-01-30 on NONIQPC Distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600 configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.3) --cflags -I../../jpeg-6b-3/include -I../../libpng-1.2.8/include -I../. ./tiff-3.6.1-2/include -I../../xpm-nox-4.2.0/include -I../../zlib-1.2.2/incl ude' 4. Why not add `dired-unmark-all-files' (`M-DEL') to the Mark menu? It could be called something like "Unmark Marked-With...". It is already there. Not in my Emacs -q, it isn't. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
