Steve, if yours are older you sure may want to sync your runtimes. Our installer uses runtimes current as of the build date. I don't have access to the Windows build box ATM to double-check, but it would be nice if third party plug-in authors would keep ftp.vim.org current. They do. But some users omit deleting obsolete files no longer on server when they download the new versions. See further down. Although (in my previous email) I understood that simply file-copying a new version of vimball wouldn't necessarily fix my problem? Does it actually have to be uninstalled, including it's preference file? At one point (I'm not sure when) the netrw plugin was split to take advantage of the new "autoload" mechanism. The name of the global plugin was also changed from plugin/netrw.vim to plugin/netrwPlugin.vim. I haven't followed the vimball plugin as closely but (looking at the above) the case looks similar. If an old plugin (with the old name) was left behind beside the new one, you're in trouble. Since you have cygwin on your build system (don't you?), maybe you could use a cygwin version of rsync to synchronise the runtime/ sibling of your src/ directory from the Vim server *with delete* to ensure that obsolete files are removed? Of course, I don't know how to set the nullsoft installer to check for "obsolete files which must be removed if present". Maybe any $VIMRUNTIME/*.vim not in the installer's embedded archive? The command I use is: rsync -avzcP --delete --exclude="/dos/" ftp.nluug.nl::Vim/runtime/ ./runtime/ Best regards, Tony. -- I get up each morning, gather my wits. Pick up the paper, read the obits.

I'm also trusting SourceForge's security system to maintain the integrity of the file.

Add "open in tab" to file browser

Netrw: open multiple directories on startup
Netrw can have several directories browsing sessions active at once if I open them separately. However, if I use the "-o" option, like cd /path/to/vimsource//vim70/ vim -o libs runtime src then it does not work as I expect. I get three open buffers, one says "Scratch" and is the directory listing for the libs/ directory, but the next two buffers are called "libs" and are blank. If I move into those buffers then each buffer fills out with the same libs/ directory listing. Obviously not what I want - I want three directory browsers each in it's own directory. Is there some way I can make this happen? I apologize if this has been covered before and I missed it. I'm using netrw v108l. thanks gm -- + Gregory H.

The swapfile used is .body.swp , it doesn't seem to create the directories. I set directory=/tmp/ and the swapfile used is /tmp/body.swp . That's the problem. If you set the swapfile to always be written to a fixed directory, there will be collisions. If 'directory' starts with . (as in the default), Vim will attempt to create the swapfile in the same directory as the editfile. There will be no need to "create" the directory since it already contains the file you're editing, and for the same reason it should be writable. Remember the path is not the path to a real file, it's a path used by an autocommand to find the data in a db. so, where does your database reside? There is something I don't understand. If your user-commands creates a buffer with a nonexistent path, then maybe the "path" part of the buffer name should be changed. Raph The advantage of having the swap in the same directory as the editfile, is that it can always be spotted if you try to edit the same file in two instances of Vim at the same time, or to reopen a file which wasn't properly closed because of a crash.
