TIL. We can do everything whit
If you call embark in dired you can select & and then write exiftool.
Sure that @oantolin could ilustrate us how to do it directly and only in multimedia files 😊
I'm joking. Let's read some documentation!

TIL There is a simple package for dired very useful to get the properties of multimedia files: github.com/misohena/dired-file
You must to have exiftool installed to get all the stuff.

🌖 Guix 中的 Emacs dired-mode 作為檔案管理器
➤ 使用 Emacs dired-mode 打造個人化的檔案管理體驗
lynn.sh/guix-emacs-file-manage
這篇文章描述了作者如何使用 Emacs 的 dired-mode 作為其在 Guix 系統中的主要檔案管理器。作者指出,他原本並不需要一個專門的檔案管理器,直到他發現點擊「在資料夾中顯示」功能時,系統無法正確地將目錄開啟到 Emacs 的 dired-mode。為瞭解決此問題,作者利用 Guix 的 `home-xdg-mime-applications-service-type` 功能,將目錄的 MIME 類型 (inode/directory) 連結到 Emacs 的 dired-mode,從而實現了點擊後直接在 Emacs 中開啟目錄的功能。作者也分享瞭如何擴展此設定以支援其他檔案類型,並推薦了 rde 這個 Guix 的輔助框架。

#Question for all #Emacs folks out there.

I come from 20+ years of IDEs: usual layout of project files on the left and content on the right.
No more dev now, but daily Emacs for my digital garden: marcoxbresciani.codeberg.page/

I use #speedbar in another frame, to see the #OrgMode folder I'm working on, sort of IDE-like layout.

Is #dired an alternative way to have this project files/current files layout?
Are there other ways, without adding external packages?

So why am I experimenting with #emacs #dired overlays? Maybe these can become part of Ready Player Mode...

@seanfobbe I'm pretty late to the dired party too :) Usually, I don't care about the owner, group, and mode of files. If you press (, that is, an opening parenthesis, in a dired buffer, all of that extra stuff goes away! It's a toggle so you can press ( again to get it back. #emacs #dired

Dear #Emacs friends,

I am pleased to announce that I have finally discovered dired, only 53 years late to the party!

And I love it.

What are your best dired hacks for beginners and advanced users?

Appreciate all advice!

I like to switch from my terminal to magit or dired in my emacs

I have a made a zsh function that works to launch a function in emacs and focus it:

function _emacs_action() {
emacsclient -u --eval "($1)"
(( $+commands[osascript] )) && osascript -e "tell application \"Emacs\" to activate"
(( $+commands[swaymsg] )) && swaymsg '[app_id="emacs"] focus'
}

and use it like this:

alias magit="_emacs_action magit"
alias dired="_emacs_action dired-jump"

so many kludges. just updated my file renaming fn in dired to account for spotdl downloaded playlists (using '--playlist-numbering'). i can finally preserve spot*fy's ordering.

i've been syncthing-ing all my music to an SD card on my phone for a while now. sometime before that, i created a rating system for filenames (1 to 5) w/fn's and bindings that can be called in dired and mpv (via emacsclient). i finally put everything together and compiled m3u8 playlists: all rated, rating of 1, ratings of 2-3, and ratings of 4-5. playlists w/relative file paths are re-written periodically by 'locate'-ing rated files, which are synced and playable on my phone 😉.

I don't like filenames containing spaces. Files I create never include a space. But downloaded or saved from mails files often do have them.

Luckily it's very easy to add some automatic renaming helper to dired.

Recently I added this to my .emacs:

```
;; my dired extension "% s"
(defun my-substspaces (str)
(subst-char-in-string ?\s ?_ str))
```

@matt1126 This is a very much underappreciated aspect of `dired`its soooo useful.

Rectangle select when doing these operations is also particularly useful.

My Elisp package for history in Dired was added to MELPA
repository. 🎂

I added alternative implementation of history with tab-line
mode. 🤹 This implementation work perfect, fast and able to work
under root console or any terminal. ⌘

I also solved in Dired:
- selection by region selection, not by marks ●
- customization of opening file in other window ●
- instant search by the first press of any key ●

I am going to write article about configuration of Emacs as a
file manager.

I took a task for job ▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿ to make prompt-enineering and maybe
fine-tuning: a small task to generate user's comments.
I have spent yesterday to register to YandexGPT API. 💩
It was \"the hell on the earth\", but I made it finally. 😊
Look at problems that I faced below. 😱

I have been lucky to find API interactions at GitHub:
github.com/Lifailon/PS-Command

I have CSV file with examples and prompt parameters.
I just need to feed it through API with cURL and
(apt install jq).
