Hello Vim Developers,
I'm "alpha testing" software for Windows that archives files
whenever they are opened for writing. Testing with Gvim, I
noticed that the program's log showed multiple "open for
write" entries by simply opening a file with Gvim and doing
a :wq command.
The author of the software wrote:
I downloaded Gvim and traced its file writes -- it
actually is opening the file for writing *4* times
for each save. (Why, I can't begin to imagine, but
it's the sort of thing you get when you port between
various OS's without redoing the code.)
I've made some changes to build 6 so that it will
only archive it & log it once, ignoring the
duplicates.
Why isn't opening the file for writing just once good
enough?
