Re: Plugin cleanup and best practice

[Yee Cheng Chin]

You basically either manage plugins yourself, or use a plugin manager like 
vim-plug.

Managing it yourself isn't hard if you know how to use Git. Just make a 
folder ".vim/pack/myplugins/start/" and then you can git clone any plugins 
into that folder you want. "myplugins" can be substituted with any name you 
want. Benefit is that it's simple and you have full control. Annoying part 
is you have to manually keep them up to date. It's not a bad option if you 
only have a few plugins you use.

Otherwise if you use something like vim-plug the benefit is you have a 
vimrc that describes all the plugins you want and it will do the work for 
you in managing them and keeping them up-to-date and selectively loading 
them.

Re: :hardcopy not launching Preview

[Yee Cheng Chin]

Actually this was fixed in MacVim, but I have been busy with
different things and traveling and didn't have time to polish up a proper
release which is why you are seeing the issue :(

I pushed out a pre-release build (you can access it in the Advanced
settings or download from the MacVim release page) but I should really get
on to releasing it since it's been like 4-5 months already.

The fix was in https://github.com/macvim-dev/macvim/pull/1390 by using
pstopdf since it's bundled with macoS.

Re: :hardcopy not launching Preview

[Lifepillar]

Could MacVim's gvimrc perhaps be updated to include something to this
effect?

fun! MacVimPrintFile(fname)
  call system('/usr/bin/pstopdf ' .. fname)
  call system('/usr/bin/open -a Preview ' .. fname .. '.pdf')
  return v:shell_error
endf

set printexpr=MacVimPrintFile(v:fname_in)

Thanks,
Life.

Re: :hardcopy not launching Preview

[Richard Mitchell]

Advantages of ps2pdf over pstopdf ?

The latter comes with OSX -> /usr/bin/pstopdf
and even got updated on 2023-06-15, so it isn't something 
leftover/forgotten.

Re: :hardcopy not launching Preview

[Yongwei Wu]

Anyway, I created a solution.

Assuming you have ps2pdf installed (Homebrew ghostscript has it). You can
add a vim_preview file:

#!/bin/sh
psfile=$1
pdffile=`echo $psfile|sed -E 's/(\.ps)?$/\.pdf/'`
ps2pdf $psfile $pdffile
open -a Preview $pdffile

Then, you can add this to your .gvimrc (not .vimrc, as MacVim sources the
global gvimrc, which contains the setting of printexpr, after your .vimrc):

set printexpr=system('/path/to/vim_preview\ '.v:fname_in)\ +\ v:shell_error

:hardcopy will work again.

Re: :hardcopy not launching Preview

[Yongwei Wu]

Actually it is not a bug of MacVim.

Using techniques described in

https://vi.stackexchange.com/questions/6887/where-does-macvim-send-its-printed-files

I have located the file output by Vim. Opening the file by Preview
does not succeed. A search confirmed this:

https://www.macrumors.com/2022/10/25/macos-ventura-preview-app-drops-postscript-support/

Anyway, even the result from ps2pdf does not look satisfying to me.
TOhtml has always been a better solution to me.
