  • instill in me a strong sence that Emacs not only coexists within the operating system, but rather embodies the operating system itself.

    It just implements being a drag-and-drop target; it does not “coexist within the operating system”

    While it is true that Windows does not support dragging files from dired buffer to external locations, but I seldom encounter such a requirement in my day-to-day workflows.

    Windows folders support being a drop-target; this is likely emacs not supporting /its/ side of the protocol.

    Ah, I see the dired-mouse-drag-files note, below.



  • C-h a replace-regexp , select the function, and look at its help string.

    The solution will end up looking something like:

    M-x replace-regexp  : \([0-9]+\):\(.*\)  \,(+ 1 \#1):\2
    

    But with (format-time-string) instead of my (+1 1 \#1); I don’t know time formatting functions in emacs elisp off the top of my head, sorry.

    (Or use query-replace-regexp if you want interactivity.)
