30.0.50; ls-lisp messes up columns |
|
Date: |
Thu, 21 Dec 2023 09:35:55 -0500 |
Package: Emacs
Version: 30.0.50
After loading `ls-lisp`, I notice that with (setq
ls-lisp-use-insert-directory-program t) I get the nice:
C-x d /u*/s* RET ==>
/:
wildcard u*/s*/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 20480 10 déc 11:24 usr/sbin/
drwxr-xr-x 404 root root 16384 2 déc 15:05 usr/share/
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 22 fév 2023 usr/src/
But with (setq ls-lisp-use-insert-directory-program nil) I get:
C-x d /u*/s* RET ==>
/:
wildcard u*/s*
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 20480 12-10 11:24 usr/sbin
drwxr-xr-x404 root root 16384 12-02 15:05 usr/share
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2023-02-22 usr/src
Notice the weird extra space in front of the last line and the missing
space between "x" and "404" in the penultimate line.

Done. I decided to install this on master, since this is a very old
problem (I can see it in Emacs 26), and the situations where it rears
its ugly head are quite rare.
Closing.
