ee-dired

ee-dired - categorized directory listings

Description

This extension creates the ee buffer containing the listing of a directory and its subdirectories. Every directory name is the category, and directory files are placed under this category. Files are printed in the format similar to format of original dired buffers.

Note that currently ee-dired is NOT replacement for original dired mode. Ee-dired is useful for inspecting directory trees and locating files under different categories.
