Opening very big files checks the size of the file in bytes. There is a similar option in dired-x `dired-omit-size-limit' which checks the dired buffer in bytes before erasing file lines in the dired buffer. But it seems that a new user option for opening very big directories should check the directory size for the number of files. What would be a good default limit? Perhaps, 4000 files and more? -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/ _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
