Thanks, that is very nice.
I played a bit around with org-fstree, that is also useful.

Indeed, nice function!

And what great and fast service!  :)

If I may be permitted to pick a nit; Uwe, you may want to prefix the
function with `my-` or `uwe-` or your initials, etc. for namespace
reasons.  Unless of course this is something Jean Louis is planning on
submitting as a patch to dired itself... ;)

Cheers,
