Re: dired-details: show/hide file details in Dired

[Richard Stallman]

      * then, by reducing details in dired, you see only the file names
        and lots of empty space in the buffer.

Is that because the lines are short?

    Presumably, frame fitting in an instance of Emacs in which you use one
    frame at a time or only one frame during your session becomes `buffer
    fitting'.

Right.  It would make sense to use side-by-side buffers, in the style
of a file browser.  That would be a natural next change to make,
after this one.

However, I don't see a need to hold off installing dired-details.el
until that further change is made.  Rather, let's install it,
and that will encourage others to work on the next change.
