Dired Extra Version 2 User's Manual

3.2 Examples of Omitting Various File Types

• If you wish to avoid seeing RCS files and the `RCS' directory, then put

  (setq dired-omit-files (concat dired-omit-files "\\|^RCS$\\|,v$"))

  in the dired-load-hook (see section 2. Installation). This assumes dired-omit-localp has its default value of no-dir to make the ^-anchored matches work. As a slower alternative, with dired-omit-localp set to nil, you can use / instead of ^ in the regexp.

• If you use tib, the bibliography program for use with TeX and LaTeX, and you want to omit the `INDEX' and the `*-t.tex' files, then put

  (setq dired-omit-files (concat dired-omit-files "\\|^INDEX$\\|-t\\.tex$"))

  in the dired-load-hook (see section 2. Installation).

• If you do not wish to see `dot' files (files starting with a `.'), then put

  (setq dired-omit-files (concat dired-omit-files "\\|^\\..+$"))

  in the dired-load-hook (see section 2. Installation).
