I like to save the state of my files before I leave vim using the :mkview command, and reload it using the :loadview command, so I tried to add them to the .vimrc file to get vim to do this automatically:
au BufWinLeave * mkview au BufWinEnter * silent loadview But everytime it runs, I get a strange error: Error detected while processing BufWinLeave Auto commands for "*": E739: Cannot create directory: /Users/myusername/.vim/view E190: Cannot open "/Users/myusername/.vim/view/~=+.vimrc=" for writing It can't create the necessary director for some reason. I am running on an administrator account, so I have all the permissions necessary.
