Did this entirely remove the 'osfiletype' option? There are still several mentions of it in the :help documents (:helpgrep on my system shows 17 matches). I wonder, if we might re-use this option to implement a similar extended attribute on Mac OS? See the following tip about saving the encoding information with the file, in the com.apple.TextEncoding extended attribute. I have no real idea how this stuff works (a google search didn't turn up very much of use) but it looks like something very useful which Vim could do if we can figure out how it is supposed to work. There are probably other extended attributes which might be more appropriate than the encoding, but I don't think encoding is that far off the intent of this option. Maybe, though, it's better to just do it in an autocmd like in the tip below: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Display_UTF-8_characters_in_Mac_Quicklook -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
