I found another error. I started vim as
vim -c Note
and got the following error messages:
Error detected while processing function notes#OpenNote:
line 10:
E172: Only one file name allowed: sp /home/garyjohn/Notes/New Note.txt
This is a consequence of:
a) Using a file name with an embedded space (ick).
b) Not properly quoting such a file name.
If users want to put spaces in their file names, that's fine, but I
don't think an application should do so by default.
To fix a), change this section of plugin/notes.vim as shown:
127 if !exists('g:notesDefaultName')
128 let g:notesDefaultName = 'New_Note' " Without extension.
129 endif
A workaround is for the user to set g:notesDefaultName
appropriately.
To fix b), change this section of autoload/notes.vim as shown:
16 catch
17 exec 'sp "'.notePath.'"'
18 endtry
There are probably other instances of that error, but I didn't
search for them.
Having fixed those problems, I started vim again as
vim -c Note
wrote "This is a test." in the upper window, and executed
":NoteAsNew". The result was this error message:
Error writing to file: /home/garyjohn/Notes/This is a test.txt
Vim(write):E172: Only one file name allowed: w! /home/garyjohn/Notes/This
is a test.txt
This is another instance of the problem discussed above.
Personally, I think you should replace spaces with underscores when
you construct a file name from the first line of the buffer. At
least provide that as a configurable option.
Tried something else to get rid of second window:
vim -c Note -c only
Then, with nothing in the buffer,
:NoteAsNew
with the result:
Error writing to file: /home/garyjohn/Notes/NewNote 4.txt
Vim(write):E172: Only one file name allowed: w!
/home/garyjohn/Notes/NewNote 4.txt
which is again a result of constructing a file name with an embedded
space and not quoting it properly, and again the same solutions
apply.
I guess there's no reason to start vim with "-c Note" if all you're
going to do is write a note, since all the action occurs when you go
to save it. Just "vim" works as well. Is that right?

Gary
