I noticed also that in large directories it took a eternity to create the Org nodes. The idea of the package is not bad, but I did not find a practical use for it. I currently have dired-subtree-toggle installed, which allows expanding and collapsing dired directories, and assigned these keyboard shortcuts to it: (with-eval-after-load 'dired (define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "<tab>") 'dired-subtree-toggle) (define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "C-<tab>") 'dired-subtree-cycle)) As to whether there is any new package that does the same thing as org-fstree, AFAIK I don't think so. Out of curiosity, what use case would you give to such a package? Best regards, Juan Manuel ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 28+ messages in thread

Well, since I tend to forget things, and it is very time consuming to open files and see what is the basic content, I thought of adding to each directory (with subdirectories if necessary) I find useful a README.org file, that contains a 1. Tree of the directory and 1. a short description of the content of each file I use bookmarks.el but that is an entirely different workflow, since I there only save files that I find useful, but sometimes I stumble across a directory I created some time ago and don't recall the content of each file. > Best regards, > Juan Manuel -- Warning: Content may be disturbing to some audiences I strongly condemn Putin's war of aggression against the Ukraine.

I see. It's not exactly what you're looking for, but I often use filetags.el (https://github.com/DerBeutlin/filetags.el) which allows you to add tags to files and directories in Dired. You can add multiple tags, remove or update them. It's not a panacea, because the tags are added directly to the file/directory name (as part of the name, I mean), but in general it's enough for me when I want to have a file tagged in some way. I can then locate this files by tag names using helm-locate. Perhaps a kind of ''dired-org-view'' could be interesting, to display a dired directory as an Org buffer, where you could add (persistent) TODO states, notes and tags. Well, it's a sudden occurrence, I don't know to what extent it is feasible, but in case someone feels inspired... :-) You also have this package (haven't tried it): https://github.com/Boruch-Baum/emacs-diredc Adds a lot of functionality to Dired, including file preview.

At first I used a controlled vocabulary for the tags, setting the variables filetags-enforce-controlled-vocabulary and filetags-controlled-vocabulary. But I was getting some false positives. So it occurred to me to configure this other variable like this: (setq filetags-delimiter-between-filename-and-tags "%ftag_") This way, if I start typing in helm-locate %ftag_ I already start getting more accurate results. Like I said, it's not a panacea, but it more or less does the trick :-) BTW, i don't use helm-locate directly but helm-mini with a number of sources related to buffers, markers, and files: (setq helm-mini-default-sources '(helm-source-buffers-list helm-source-recentf helm-source-buffer-not-found helm-source-bookmarks helm-source-bookmark-set helm-source-locate)) So with a single call to helm-mini I can get information about open buffers, recent files, bookmarks, and locate.

Ah, sorry, I thought you used helm-locate before. helm-locate depends on the GNU/Linux 'locate' program. You have to install it. I don't know what distro you use, but the package is usually called mlocate or plocate (these are two different implementations of locate). I have mlocate installed on Arch Linux. According to the Arch wiki: ------------ - mlocate (Merging Locate) is a more secure version of the locate utility, that only shows files accessible to the user. - plocate (Posting Locate) is a locate based on posting lists, consuming mlocates database ahead-of-time and making a much faster (and smaller) index out of it. ------------ Generally, when you install locate it is automatically configured so that the database is updated every time you start a session. If you want to update it in the middle of a session, you must execute the updatedb command with sudo in the terminal.

You're right, sorry. I'm afraid I was too hasty and the code from the other message, as I put it, will never work :-). You can test how it looks, however, if you evaluate the function in a dired buffer, but the moment you revert the buffer the overlay is lost, as expected. That has to be solved in another way.

The selected candidates in helm have one main action, which in helm-locate and so on is usually to visit the buffer or file. The action is associated with enter or C-m. But you can modify the helm-map to your liking. And, in addition to the main action, you have a menu of (very useful) secondary actions, which you can access by pressing tab on the selected candidate. Each helm source has its own secondary actions. And you can also define more actions and add them. Best regards, Juan Manuel ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 28+ messages in thread
