dired-x: Omitting Examples

 
 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’ (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’ (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’ (Installation).  (Of course, a
      better way to achieve this particular goal is simply to omit ‘-a’
      from ‘dired-listing-switches’.)
