Is there any way to determine whether a particular window has its path set with :lcd?
I think vi has no direct simple way to determine this. I needed this once in of my script. I ended with some rude simplification/workaround, lackng the direct simple solution. I don't know your specific case, but you might find simlpistic workaround. One weird attempt to determine this would be to (I did not do it): (1) get getcwd() in the window in quiestion (2) create temp new window with :new (3) get getcwd() in the new temp window (4) compare cwd from step (3) against cwd from step(1) (5) :bw the temp window This has lots of drawcacks: - I am not sure this sequence works in the presence of :acd thought. - I am not sure this sequence works at all, but I can't think of other method either. - This sequence won't detect one subtle case: case the :lcd is set, but is set to directory X where X is same as current directory. (This case behaves differently that case without :lcd, but this difference might not matter to you). - Overly complicated. Maybe vim needs new functions getlcwd(), hetgcwd(), or additional 2nd param to getcwd() to return global/local dir. Yakov
