Two alternatives come to mind: Under the assumption that your sessions correspond to projects, you could use the localvimrc[1] plugin (or something similar) to set the variables to project-specific values. Such plugins load a project- specific viml file, e.g. /path/to/project/.lvimrc. You could define a SessionLoadPost autocommand that does something. The session is saved in v:this_session. Regards, Tom [1] http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=441 Thanks Tom. Good tips and looks like a great plugin. cheers -- Tim tim at johnsons-web.com or akwebsoft.com http://www.akwebsoft.com -- You received this message from the vim_use maillist. Do not top-post!

Saving global variables in session files
Using vim 7.2 on ubuntu 10.04, huge version. If I execute the following: :let g:viewFolder = /path/to/project/application/views and save the session, I note that the value of g:viewFolder is not stored in the session file. What else do I need to do? - NOTE: the reason for this need is as follows: - I would like to create a series of global variables that would be set to different values in different sessions and stored in the session file for each session. Examples: g:viewFolder = /path/to/project/application/views g:modelFolder = /path/to/project/application/models g:controllerFolder = /path/to/project/application/controllers This has a potential for a wide range of applications, such as open file selection dialog for views folder browse confirm e g:viewFolder etc. thanks -- Tim tim at johnsons-web.com or akwebsoft.com http://www.akwebsoft.com -- You received this message from the vim_use maillist.

Doing my own research: ... from http://www.adp-gmbh.ch/vim/vars.html I deduced to do the following: :set sessionoptions+=globals :let g:ViewFolder = /path/to/project/application/views Note the capital 'V' and save the session. I now see that 'ViewFolder' is saved in the session file and has a value when the session file is sourced. :) but you're not off the hook yet.
