peep-dired-next-file / prev-file open new window showing dired buffer

[MorpheusMXML]

Hi everyone,

first of all, im new to Emacs + hacking it so please forgive me if i might not be as precise as i should be.
Especially this is most likely my user / configuration fault and not a issue with the package itself.

However, i searched a lot on the net over the past couple of days and i just can't figure it out and actually lack the ability to debug it by myself. But I'd love to do so and am willing to learn 😄

So i use peep-dired like this:

(Use-package peep-dired 
   :after dired
   :config
   (setq peep-dired-cleanup-eagerly t)
   (setq peep-dired-enable-on-directories t))

with keybindings:

(general-def
   :states 'normal
   :keymaps 'peep-dired-mode-map
   "J" 'peep-dired-scroll-page-down
   "K" 'peep-dired-scroll-page-up
   "j" 'peep-dired-next-file
   "k" 'peep-dired-prev-file)

Now to my Problem

• When i first start peep while in dired buffer, it will open a new window displaying the preview of the File ->Awesome works like expected
• when i now hit j or k (calling the next-/prev-file method) i expected the just opened window to update its content previewing the now hovered file from the dired Buffer.
• What actually happens is:
  • a new (3rd) window is opened.
  • both the 2nd and 3rd window are updated to displaying the dired buffer where i originally called peep-dired
• quitting peep-dired will correctly kill these windows and buffers according to my above configuration.

Does anyone have an idea what i might be doing wrong or how i could debug this situation?

Thanks a lot for bearing with me!
Have a nice one.
