Has anyone modified the save-context and recover-context functions (which write out a file describing your current buffers so that they can be reread automatically by a later editing session) so that dired buffers will be noted in the context file and recovered by recover-context? Also, has anyone modified dired and the buffer-list display so that when you list your buffers, it will tell you the pathname of the directory corresponding to a dired buffer? I often have dired buffers which have the same name but are actually different parts of the directory tree, and it would be nice if the buffer listing made them easier to distinguish. I actually tried to do this by setting buffer-file-name for the dired buffers, and it did what I wanted in the buffer listing display, but it had the unwanted side effect that Emacs would ask me if I wanted to save the dired buffers when I did save-some-buffers.
