Is it possible to insert all subtrees recursively?

[rgrinberg]

This is the only reason why I still have dired+ installed.

Use dired-subtree-cycle, it will cycle these states:

1) Show subtree
2) Show subtree recursively (if previous command was cycle)
3) Remove subtree

That still seems like I have to do it individually on every directory I want to recursively insert

With point on a directory calling the funciton multiple times cycles these options. Is that not what you want? If so then I don't understand the question.

The difference with dired+'s implementation is as follows:

• If I don't mark anything, it will insert all subdirs of all directories in my current dired view
• If I have mark some dirs, it will only insert those recursively.

With dired-subtree-cycle, seems like I can only insert things recursively 1 by 1.

I see. I guess we could add this to dired-subtree-insert if you place the point on the . or somewhere.
