Hi Stefan,

can't see how to load this option within the rules given.
dired itself requires the `-l'

extension dired-virtual --a great feature BTW-- depends on dired-rules for me.

How to load the directory in without the mandatory `-l'?

Afterwards I may produce the result of "ls -1" setting the regexp accordingly 
with dired-virtual.
But that's much more complicated than specifying the switch via C-u M-x dired

PS: suggest to leave the bug-thread for the moment, coming back with the result.
