Re: pop-to-buffer and friends new behavior or bug?

[Thierry Volpiatto]

In anything, i can browse image directory without quitting anything.
This function `anything-find-files-persistent-action', use
`display-buffer' and then display image with image-dired function in
this buffer.This doesn't work anymore (display-buffer).
The image is displayed ...in minibuffer!!!
However it is working fine if i use `switch-to-buffer'.
I have commited a fix at:
http://repo.or.cz/w/anything-config.git
where you can read the code.

To reproduce with old code (the one that use display-buffer):
M-x anything-find-files
navigate to an image directory.
hit C-u C-z on an image filename
You will have the image displayed in minibuffer and it is impossible to
quit.

The last code is working fine.
