Hi, I'm currently using vim 7.4.5 in linux (Mint 15 olivia) and I noticed a strange behaviour concerning netrw.
if I do: cd /some/directory vim . => it's working (vi runs the netrw plugin and displays the "/some/directory" directory content) even though I have a warning message complaining about "." being a directory if I do: vim /some/directory => I only get a blank screen (vi opens a new and empty buffer) and I get a "/some/directory" is a directory warning. the behaviour is the same with vim /some/directory/ (except that I get an "invalid file name" warning) moreover, if I run vi and then do a ":e /some/directory" it's working. I tried the same with vim 7.3 (same netrw version) : it's working wether the path for the directory is relative or absolute. my .vimrc only contains "set nocp" so it seems opening a directory with its absolute path doesn't work (at least on my computer). I tried to run vim with the -V option but found no significant difference between the "vim -V ." and the "vim -V /some/directory" any ideas ? am I the only one with this strange netrw or vim 7.4 behaviour ? -- Selyana -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
