Hi, from time to time I have to edit a python file, which is stored on the 2M flash memory on a microcontroller board.
To avoid unneccassary write cycles to the flash (flash wear out) I want to disable backup and swapfile in such a case. And to ensure both are switched off even if I have forgotten to do so, vim should do that automatically. I am working under Linux. The mountpoint for the flash (the microcontroller represents itsself as "USBstick" with 2M memory space...) is /home/user/flash and I am always editing python code. I tried autocmd FileType python setlocal nobackup autocmd FileType python setlocal noswapfile as a first test...but it fails (supposedly a layer eight failure...) How can I acchieve this trick? Thanks a lot for any help in advance! Cheers! Meino -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
