Its already netrwlist; I named it that quite awhile ago so as to reduce
the danger that someone
might move syntax/netrw.vim atop plugin/netrw.vim. It seems like it'd
be better for it to simply
be netrw, so I'll do that.
Couple of other comments about netrw:
- In the vim7 beta2, netrw seems to generate bunch of "1 more line"
messages (I have report=0). Can we put a :silent in front of those
lines that add lines, please?
- The "loaded_netrw" variable is set to say "v52", but it will be much
easier to do version checks if it is just a number, such as "52".
I don't see any benefit of prefixing the number with a "v".
Hmm --- I sent netrw v87 to Bram yesterday, and I've got a v88b that
I've uploaded to my website.
That "b", by the way, shows one reason why the version isn't simply a
number. Another reason: I
have scripts that automatically update my website with the latest
"ASTRO-ONLY" versions of my
scripts, including updating the release & version number shown on the
website. Its safer to have
that '"v\d\+\a*"' pattern for such automated updating.
Doing version checks just simply means doing the removal of the leading
"v" and then comparing.
(strpart(), substitute(), etc).
Vim 7 beta2 has a much more recent version of netrw than v58. Do you
happen to have an older
netrw hanging around in your plugin directory? The newer netrw's work
better with report=0.
