I'm trying to use Emacs and everything is fine, but the information about every file in my directory is too comprehensive. How can I tell it to show only file name (and maybe filesize in human readable format)? I tried options like dired-listing-switches but without any luck.

Dired makes an Emacs buffer containing a listing of a directory, and optionally some of its subdirectories as well. You can use the normal Emacs commands to move around in this buffer, and special Dired commands to operate on the listed files. Dired works with both local and remote directories.
You can start Dired Mode with C-x d , which will then prompt you to enter the directory you wish to view. You can also enter Dired with C-x C-f and then typing the directory you wish to view (as opposed to entering a filename). Dired Mode is a read-only buffer, so many of the commands are single letter keystrokes.
Dired (for Directory Editor) is a computer program for editing file system directories. It typically runs inside the Emacs text editor as a specialized mode, though standalone versions have been written. When run in Emacs, dired displays an ls-like file listing in an Emacs buffer.
As of Emacs 24.4, hit key (.
Repeated, this will hide/unhide details. This is part of Dired Details.
