Diredc in the same frame

[BossCode45]

I use a tiling window manager, so opening a new frame doesn't work so well for me. Instead of this it'd be nice if it would just save the current frame's layout and then replace it with diredc, and then when calling diredc again it would go back to the original layout. This could be a variable like diredc-make-new-frame or something, where setting it to false would just use the same frame it was called from.

I've pushed several commits to a new branch 'single-frame', which might satisfy your request (and maybe fix another bug in the process). Are you able to test it? Extra points for exhaustive brutal testing. Let me know exactly what you put it through.

Four months with no response from the only person who expressed any interest.

Hi, i was looking for just this. I put (setq diredc-make-new-frame nil) in my emacsconfig but still a new frame is started.... Did i do something wrong? Thanks

Hi. Thanks for the interest. That experimental / in-development feature is sitting off the main branch. You need to switch to branch single-frame in order to access the git version that has it.
