It may depend on your shell and/or on your OS
On any platform, you could do
:lcd %:p:h
:!somecommand arg1 arg2
On Linux or Cygwin, where I use bash, I could also do
:!(cd %:p:h ; somecommand arg1 arg2)
to avoid changing the "current directory" seen inside Vim. (Vim replaces
%:p:h by the full directory of the current editfile.) I don't know
whether other Unix shells accept the same () construct.
Best regards,
Tony.
