Dear Emacs community, Goal: Being in Dired mode I want to apply a shell command to a file asynchronously. Details: I'm using the extension dired-x.el, Emacs 21.2.1. When in Dired mode I use dired-do-shell-command for launching xdvi on a .dvi file. I want to use Emacs further while browsing the xdvi window, but that is impossible since Emacs waits until the xdvi process is terminated.
When I perform a shell command on files, etc. in emacs, I just put a & after the command. This may be to simplistic, but it seems to work.
