RE: dired Mark menu commands

[Drew Adams]

        Why not add this command to the Mark menu? It could be called "Mark
        Extension...".

    Because it is not part of Dired.

Well, the exact command I described (prefix arg means unmark) is not the
existing command in dired-x either - it doesn't exist yet. It could be
_added_ to dired, if people find it useful. I know that I mark all files
with the same extension a _lot_ more often than I use some of the other menu
items.

        3. Why not add `dired-mark-symlinks' (`*@') to the Mark
           menu? It could be called "Mark Symlinks".

    It is already there.

Not in my Emacs -q, it isn't. What are you doing, to get it in the menu? The
command is bound to the key sequence, but it is not in the Mark menu.

        4. Why not add `dired-unmark-all-files' (`M-DEL') to the
           Mark menu? It could be called something like
           "Unmark Marked-With...".

    It is already there.

Not in my Emacs -q, it isn't.
