[[info:emacs#Dired][Dired (info)]] and the [[https://github.com/ranger/ranger#readme][ranger]] file manager offer similar capabilities for copying,
deleting, opening, renaming, and viewing files and directories, but the

integration of [[https://github.com/ranger/ranger#readme][ranger]] in Emacs.
For instance, this setup allows to insert an =org-mode= link to a file
containing a specific image into an =org-mode= buffer by means of the facilities
of [[info:emacs#Dired][dired (info)]] as follows:
1. Type {{{kbd(C-x d)}}} to open the directory containing the file with the
specific image in a =dired-mode= buffer.

extension.
