Short file name (Filename) is not being retained in Windows (XP). VIM - Vi IMproved 7.0 (2006 May 7, compiled May 7 2006 16:18:30)
Don't know if this is a bug per say, but, ... ------- Create a new file with a long filename. vim "this_is_a_test" Save the file. List the directory using the /x parameter. dir /x 05/22/2006 02:43 PM 4 THIS_I~1 this_is_a_test Short filename is THIS_I~1. Edit the file again & save the file. vim "this_is_a_test" List the directory using the /x parameter. dir /x 05/22/2006 02:47 PM 4 THIS_I~2 this_is_a_test Short file name has changed to THIS_I~2. ------- Subsequent edits of the file will retain the short filename (as THIS_I~2), but the initial edit of a file will change the short name from (what would typically be) a ~1 to a ~2. ------- I do not notice that behaviour in Vim 64.
