dired-do-chmod vs. top line of dired |
Date: |
Mon, 29 Jan 2018 20:32:51 +0800 |
M runs the command dired-do-chmod.
If used on the very top line of dired
(the directory name,) it says:
"Change mode of * [0 files] to: "
which doesn't make a lot of sense.
emacs-version "25.2.2"
Same problem if used on the second line, (total...).
(Why doesn't it just complain "can't operate on" like it does for the
third line, ".".)

This is now pushed to master and closed.
