Version 2.1.0 of package Dirvish has just been released in NonGNU ELPA. You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.
Dirvish describes itself as: ========================================= A modern file manager based on dired mode ========================================= More at https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/dirvish.html ## Summary: ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 1 Introduction ══════════════ The experience of dirvish is surreal and even bizarre after all these years of trying to use dired. Like how professionals make their craft look easy, dirvish does something similar with how it builds on dired. Dirvish is paradoxical in that it provides a completely different experience while still fundamentally being dired at its core. – @noctuid ([source]) Dirvish is an improved version of the Emacs inbuilt package [Dired]. It not only gives Dired an appealing and highly customizable user interface, but also comes together with almost all possible parts required for full usability as a modern file manager. ## Recent NEWS: 1 2.1.0 ═══════ 1.1 What's changed ────────────────── ⁃ Fixed incorrect vc states <https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/issues/224> ⁃ `dirvish-hide-cursors' and `dirvish-hide-details' now support list of symbols ⁃ A lot of window dedication issues fixed (#194 #258 #262 #264 #293) ⁃ Mode line errors (#233) ⁃ Modular directory data fetching (#162 #238) ⁃ Fixed image preview with `dirvish-peek'. ⁃ Performance imporvements with `dirvish-side'. ⁃ Respect `dired-kill-when-opening-new-dired-buffer'. ⁃ Fixed compatibility issue with `find-dired'. 1.2 Fixes from community ──────────────────────── ⁃ Fix #158 : Delete emerge overlays when turning off the mode by @aikrahguzar in <https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/pull/159> ⁃ docs: fix some typos by @feltcat in <https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/pull/176> ⁃ fix(core): don't quote conditions in condition-case by @tarsius in <https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/pull/206> ⁃ add nerd-icons support by @rainstormstudio in <https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/pull/201> ⁃ fix(core): resolve emacs binary path in a more reliable way by @isamert in <https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/pull/192> ⁃ Report error from fd to user by @dvzubarev in <https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/pull/178> ⁃ Use rsync for local file copying in dirvish-rsync by @dvzubarev in <https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/pull/180> ⁃ Add rsync transient map by @dvzubarev in <https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/pull/181> ⁃ fd: add function that reads pattern from user by @dvzubarev in <https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/pull/187> ⁃ Update CUSTOMIZING.org by @liguangsheng in <https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/pull/198> ⁃ Fix an error: void-variable dv in Emacs-30.0.50 by @dvzubarev in <https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/pull/251> ⁃ Remove the restriction on printing for `dirvish-data-for-dir` by @isamert in <https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/pull/266> ⁃ Define new faces for all VC states by @protesilaos in <https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/pull/222> ⁃ fix(dired-noselect): Support both lists and strings by @jcf in <https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/pull/257> ⁃ subtree respect dired-omit-mode now by @eki3z in <https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/pull/268> ⁃ refactor(yank): rework copying r2r case for rsync by @dvzubarev in <https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/pull/215> ⁃ fix(subtree): "toggle or open" should open file, not view it by @brownts in <https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/pull/281> ⁃ fix(yank): silence byte-compiler by @tarsius in <https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/pull/220> ⁃ Fix typos by @tarsius in <https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/pull/227> ⁃ Fix custom type specifications by @tarsius in <https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/pull/239> ⁃ yank: fixes for recent r2r refactor commit by @dvzubarev in <https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/pull/287> ⁃ Fix broken link to purcell's emacs in EMACS-NEWCOMERS.org by @LV in <https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/pull/278> ⁃ docs: document the nil case for dirvish-default-layout. by @nicolas-graves in <https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/pull/231> ⁃ Split dirvish-yank–execute into two functions by @dvzubarev in <https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/pull/290> ⁃ fix: prevent killing emacsclient started on a directory by @prati0100 in <https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/pull/293> ⁃ perf(dirvish-peek): prevent redundant updates by tracking previous candidate by @zsxh in <https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish/pull/297> 2 2.0.53 ════════ 2.1 Breaking changes ──────────────────── ⁃ Use simulated dired buffers for parent directory and directory preview Prior to V2.0, `dirvish` command would create a ton of dired buffers because `dired-noselect` function were used to generate parent buffers and preview buffers for directory entries. Now these buffers are created internally by dirvish, meaning they'll not showing up as dired/dirvish buffers in your buffer list. 2.2 Changes since 1.9.23 ──────────────────────── ⁃ `core': • bind `dirvish-dispatch' to `q' • add basic perspective.el support • allow user to have classic dired header (#96) • basic mouse support • add `dirvish-hide-cursor' user option (#119) … …
