This file provides some code for convenient symlinking files into particular directory (`pathify-directory'). It is intended to be used for symlinking your scripts (or other executable files) into your "~/bin" directory (as you surely have it in your PATH environment variable :-). To install the package manually, add the following to your init file: (add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/pathify-dir") (autoload 'pathify "pathify" nil t) (autoload 'pathify-dired "pathify" nil t) Optionally, set `pathify-directory' variable (if you do not use "~/bin"): Now you may use "M-x pathify-dired" command in a dired buffer to pathify the marked files (or the current file if nothing is marked). For more convenience, you may bind this command to some key, for example: (eval-after-load 'dired '(define-key dired-mode-map "P" 'pathify-dired))
