I have made regexp to be: .
and expression to be "(rcd-open-dir file)"
Though I find it not logical to have to put Lisp expression in quotes.
And I am trying to use this one.
(defun rcd-open-dir (file)
"vlc")
but it says "exited abnormally" and I cannot see error messages.
Please show me example how you deal with it.
