Hi Bram, Thank you for the permission to use the icon, I really appreciate it. My project is licensed under the Boost License so that anyone can freely use it without restriction, and not the GPL ... I'll add a specific note that the icon itself should not be used in any forks/derivatives without permission. I don't yet support the "diff" option that Vim's current shell extension has, but should add it soon (only Vim and PSPad seem to support it). OTOH, I've tried to create something that keeps Explorer's context menu a bit less cluttered than Vim's current shell extension, and I'd really rather not add the "Edit with multiple Vims" menu entry unless people really use it. Would anyone care to express an opinion on that? John -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
