Multiple dirvish windows

[ghost]

How should one configure dirvish, so that using it side-by-side with other emacs windows (including other dirvish buffers opened to different directories) would be possible?

Currently, dirvish seems to expect to take up the full frame, and I haven't been able to make it behave nicely when that's not the case. On that topic, a variable to disable the preview pane would be very welcome, as gluing dirvish-layout-toggle to various functions is prone to accidentally re-enable preview.

The mode of interaction I am imagining (keeping one or more dirvish buffers open in directories of interest, and switching to or away from them, much like a normal file manager) would also mean all the buffers it creates when traversing directories would start to litter the buffer list. How could those auxiliary buffers be filtered from the buffer list, without also filtering out the one or more 'main' dirvish buffers, i.e. those deliberately kept open?

Thank you in advance for your time, and for a wonderful file manager.
