    Collection of useful dired additions

    As an alternative to do stuff manually as Prot does, you can also take a look at dired-hacks by Goljer, a.k.a Fuco, in particular dired-subtree and dired-filter. Dired-subtree let's you "toggle" directory listings displayed inline, similar as how other file managers expand/collapse directories in "list-mode". If you prefer using Dired interactively, that one is a game changer in my opinion. I have 'dired-subtree-toggle' on a tab key, so I can just quickly press tab to "expand/collapse" a folder. it is not same as pressing 'i' in Dired and having content of a directory inserted "below", but in my opinion, I never find the built-in Dired version very appealing. Subtree-toggle also skips extra headers for inserted directories, and I can still do all dired operations on directories as if they were inserted with built-in method that Prot demonstrates. I have also used dired-subtree-toggle to make three small functions on top of it to expand entire directory tree one folder at a time, all at once and to collapse them.
