2. Installation

This manual describes the Dired features provided by the file `dired-x.el'. To take advantage of these features, you must load the file and (optionally) set some variables.

In your `.emacs' file in your home directory, or in the system-wide initialization file `default.el' in the `site-lisp' directory, put

 
(add-hook 'dired-load-hook
          (lambda ()
            (load "dired-x")
            ;; Set dired-x global variables here.  For example:
            ;; (setq dired-guess-shell-gnutar "gtar")
            ;; (setq dired-x-hands-off-my-keys nil)
            ))
(add-hook 'dired-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            ;; Set dired-x buffer-local variables here.  For example:
            ;; (setq dired-omit-files-p t)
            ))

This will load `dired-x.el' when Dired is first invoked (for example, when you first type C-x d).
