Documentation

Dired commands for which Dired should not popup list of affected files, or t.

If non-nil, Dired will not pop up the list of files to be affected by some Dired commands, when asking for confirmation. (Dired will still ask for confirmation, just without showing the affected files.)

If the value is t, the list of affected files is never popped up. The value can also be a list of command symbols: then the list of the affected files will not be popped up only for the corresponding Dired commands. Recognized command symbols are byte-compile, chgrp, chmod, chown, compress, copy, delete, hardlink, load, move, print, shell, symlink, touch and uncompress.
