Excuses, excuses. Does not dired-x-submit-report send to this same
mailing list? Indeed,
;; Maintainer: FSF (unless Dodd can be found)
4 lines matching "please" in buffer dired-x.el.
37:;; Please, PLEASE, *PLEASE* see the info pages.
57:;; bind some dired keys. *Please* see the info pages for more details.
59:;; *Please* see the info pages for more details.
83:;; the end of any of the variable names, and hit C-h v [RET]. *Please*

OK, I would but the dired-x Shell Command Guessing etc. info node are
not in the emacs info tree but instead next to it, at least on debian.
There it says "Dired only tries to guess a command for a single file, never for
a
list of marked files." but in fact it does, if the marked files have
the same suffix it seems. But if it plans to use xloadimage on .jpg's
and use xloadimage on .gif's, then it should use xloadimage when
presented with a list that are all .jpg's and .gif's.
