| dired-guess-shell-alist-user's value is shown below.
|
| Documentation:
| User-defined alist of rules for suggested commands.
| These rules take precedence over the predefined rules in the variable
| `dired-guess-shell-alist-default' (to which they are prepended).
|
| Each element of this list looks like
|
| (REGEXP COMMAND...)
|
| where each COMMAND can either be a string or a lisp expression that evaluates
| to a string. If several COMMANDs are given, the first one will be the default
| and the rest will be added temporarily to the history and can be retrieved
| with M-x previous-history-element (M-p) .
|
| You can set this variable in your ~/.emacs. For example, to add rules for
| `.foo' and `.bar' files, write
|
| (setq dired-guess-shell-alist-user
| (list (list "\\.foo\\'" "FOO-COMMAND");; fixed rule
| ;; possibly more rules ...
| (list "\\.bar\'";; rule with condition test
| '(if condition
| "BAR-COMMAND-1"
| "BAR-COMMAND-2"))))
|
| You can customize this variable.
|
| Defined in `dired-x'.
|
| Value:
| (("\\.pdf$" "xpdf * &")
| ("\\.pdf\\.gz$" "zxpdf * &")
| ("\\.dvi$" "xdvi * &")
| ("\\.ps$" "gv --spartan * &")
| ("\\.eps$" "gv --spartan * &")
| ("\\.ps\\.gz$" "gv --spartan * &")
| ("\\.rtf$" "ted * &")
| ("\\.jpeg$" "display * &")
| ("\\.jpg$" "display * &")
| ("\\.gif$" "display * &")
| ("\\.png$" "display * &"))

Most precious among the relics remaining of Peter's skeleton in the
Vatican are 29 fragments of one of his skulls. (St. Peter's other
skull is preserved in a reliquary at the Cathedral of St. John
Lateran.)
