Re: gvim is slow opening, saving, and scanning tags on a file across the network

If this fixes the problem, you can selectively disable swapfile creation for this network share (but keep swapfiles for local files) by setting up an exception in your .vimrc file: autocmd BufReadPre //hostname/* setlocal noswapfile Also see :help 'directory' which you can use to store swapfiles for remote files locally for safety.

I tried adding this setting to my _vimrc (on Windows), to no avail. I still get the massive delay. Thanks for your insight, though. Very much appreciated. -AJ -Original Message- From: Ingo Karkat [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 04, 2008 1:56 AM To: vim_dev@googlegroups.com; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: gvim is slow opening, saving, and scanning tags on a file across the network On 03-Jan-08 17:25, aj wrote: I am running gvim on a windows box, version 7.1.

Quoting AJ Mieskolainen [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I tried adding this setting to my _vimrc (on Windows), to no avail. I still get the massive delay. Thanks for your insight, though. Very much appreciated. Try gvim -u NONE -U NONE -X -n somefile That'll start gvim up with no plugins, syntax, etc, no X clipboard, and no swapfile writing.
