However, there's still no indication of failed copies in the echo area or the *Messages* buffer. :-(Can you debug why not? The cond at the end of dired-create-files is supposed to call dired-log-summary, which should call message. Please debug the code in dired-create-files to see why this doesn't do that job. If you put a (debug) call before this code (cond (dired-create-files-failures (dired-log-summary (format "%s failed for %d of %d file%s" operation (length dired-create-files-failures) total (dired-plural-s total)) dired-create-files-failures)) you can (1) see if it really gets there, and (2) look at the value of dired-create-files-failures, which ought to contain a list of the file names that had trouble.
(1) It really gets there; (2) dired-create-files-failures is nil inside the debugger. The reason is that the variable was still inconsistently spelled; sometimes dired-create-file-failures and sometimes dired-create-files-failures. After I standardized them to dired-create-files-failures, things worked as expected, displaying a message with the number and the names of the failed files. I tried to copy /etc and /tmp recursively, and the message was: Copy failed for 29 of 2 files--type ? for details ((tmp/ssh-IHYRJT1622/agent.1622 tmp/lost+found [... many more files ...] etc/.pwd.lock)) Certainly the `29 of 2' looks a bit odd; I don't know what should be done about that. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
