The bookmark looks fine. (I assume that you loaded library ls-lisp.el? If not, you need to do so, and do so before you set that variable.) Please follow up by email (see file header). This is not the place for extended conversation or debugging. Thx. Before fiddling with bookmarking, you need make sure that diredp-add-to-dired-buffer is working properly for you. Just load dired+.el and M-x load-library RET ls-lisp RET, and try M-x diredp-add-to-dired-buffer.

ping. Could you please try setting ls-lisp-use-insert-directory-program to nil, to see if that solves the problem? If it does then I'll adjust the code to take care of this, one way or another.

Note that if you load ls-lisp.el then you can still control when/where and whether its code is used for inserting a directory, by setting or binding variable ls-lisp-use-insert-directory-program. If that variable is nil then it uses the ls-lisp code. Otherwise it uses the default (e.g. ls) code. You could, e.g., load ls-lisp but leave that var non-nil and just bind it to nil in the lambda in bmkp-set-dired-bookmark-for-files. If you confirm what is happening (i.e., that loading ls-lisp fixes the problem) then I'll add that nil binding to the code.

More precisely, ls-lisp.el advises insert-directory to use ls-lisp--insert-directory instead.

Vanilla Emacs that is not on MS Windows does not use ls-lisp.el. Instead, it uses the ls that is provided by the OS (e.g. GNU/Linux). The code for insert-directory is different. I cannot test on a non-Windows platform. But you can try loading standard library ls-lisp, by putting (require 'ls-lisp) in your init file. See if that helps. Let me know (see the email contact info in the file header). It might be appropriate to file an Emacs bug/enhancement request for this. Note that ls-lisp is better for some things and not as good for other things, compared with built-in ls.

this is awesome, thx so much. only 1 tiny issue remains. the doc says: To instead include the contents of a directory, use a glob pattern: put /*' after the directory name. when i do that i get an error when trying to launch the bookmark: insert-directory: Reading directory: no such file or directory, /home/zeltak/ZH_tmp/*`. any clue? this is the current elisp entry for the bookmark: paste.xinu.at/11K

OK, I added a command that does this to Bookmark+. Copy it from here or get it from the latest bookmark+-1.el.
