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 (See 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, you might 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 (See 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 (See Installation).
