Its prompt says that the default value is "now". But currently its default value is the file modification time, not the current time. Thus `T RET' has no effect in dired. The problem is that `dired-mark-read-string' now uses `completing-read' (to be able to provide completion) instead of `read-from-minibuffer'. These functions differ in how they handle defaults: `read-from-minibuffer' returns the empty string for empty input, but `completing-read' returns the default value and can't recognize empty input. This requires a new function that provides completion like `completing-read-default' but without these two lines: (when (and (equal result "") def) (setq result (if (consp def) (car def) def))) From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Tue Sep 11 10:41:57 2012 Received: (at 12399) by debbugs.gnu.org; 11 Sep 2012 14:41:57 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:54801 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.72) (envelope-from ) id 1TBRf2-0006ze-Ve for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Tue, 11 Sep 2012 10:41:57 -0400 Received: from mail-wg0-f42.google.com ([74.125.82.42]:40870) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.72) (envelope-from ) id 1TBRf0-0006zV-QJ for 12399@debbugs.gnu.org; Tue, 11 Sep 2012 10:41:55 -0400 Received: by wgbfm10 with SMTP id fm10so2011448wgb.3 for <12399@debbugs.gnu.org>; Tue, 11 Sep 2012 07:41:12 -0700 (PDT) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=20120113; h=sender:from:to:cc:subject:in-reply-to:references:user-agent:date :message-id:mime-version:content-type; bh=JYq/vMPoIgBKfYmLMEop9Ev7m1CcMHXAgHN2ZdkPSzE=; b=ijCIa0QkPOuyh199jEIZnXMd54nKwb2twYxjhtoHVhRjdfdAQeyKdy4uHI/LegYOrl aeAHTCuOWPEid67DTFMbmvB/o29Bk3QMQuHEM9WtwMU616x7ZKq5bzIh8wYPS1Bf3ehy iPBW2KU2xTpKKl3I/sfLkN5k+PHwAQf797jqMZbOyZd7luGXxWryvoJEG91eLX0eKYx6 XITgSlx6eA4EdY4vyexhDOdkwDIxvZDMdJUREEM+50eu4ZtfKzRoViSuWYZWOuh46vzJ oRM5WDQJXSbvYzGC7nG5LzDOmXXWH2aA1l7btEksdF7ikbZsGO/IzSWJEnBd+d8pG5t1 Bbvg== Received: by 10.180.14.8 with SMTP id l8mr25663186wic.6.1347374472108; Tue, 11 Sep 2012 07:41:12 -0700 (PDT) Received: from myhost.localdomain (mar75-2-81-56-68-112.fbx.proxad.net.

Sorry, but it removes using the modification time of current file for editing in the minibuffer via M-n, and what is worse, it uses the current time as the argument of `touch' that might cause race conditions as described in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/142449/focus=142494 Fortunately, thanks to `completing-read-function' it's easy to fix this with a small change that adds a new function `completing-read-without-default' that works like `completing-read-default' but returns the empty string for empty input like `read-from-minibuffer': === modified file 'lisp/dired-aux.el' --- lisp/dired-aux.el 2012-09-08 14:48:27 +0000 +++ lisp/dired-aux.el 2012-09-11 19:04:20 +0000 @@ -391,10 +391,11 @@ (defun dired-mark-read-string (prompt in Optional arg COLLECTION is a collection of possible completions, passed as the second arg to `completing-read'." + (let ((completing-read-function 'completing-read-without-default)) (dired-mark-pop-up nil op-symbol files 'completing-read (format prompt (dired-mark-prompt arg files)) - collection nil nil initial nil default-value nil)) + collection nil nil initial nil default-value nil))) ;;; Cleaning a directory: flagging some backups for deletion. === modified file 'lisp/minibuffer.el' --- lisp/minibuffer.el 2012-09-01 04:28:24 +0000 +++ lisp/minibuffer.el 2012-09-11 19:03:14 +0000 @@ -3089,11 +3108,14 @@ (defvar completing-read-function 'comple "The function called by `completing-read' to do its work.
