[OS X Emacs] [aquamacs-devel] Aquamacs 3.5 coming soon -- test now

[FIGUEROA-O'FARRILL Jose]

Hi, Win.

Ah, yes, I now remember that David had sent me that function a long time ago and it’s different than the one in the wiki now.  I have

 (defun dired-open-mac ()
    (interactive)
    (let ((file-name (dired-get-file-for-visit)))
      (if (file-exists-p file-name)
          (call-process "/usr/bin/open" nil 0 nil file-name))))

Alas the new version seems to given an error in directories whose names involve 8-bit characters, even though dired works well. But at least it gives an error (file not found) since it gets the name of the folder wrong.

I’d appreciate any pointers…

Cheers,
	José
