It seems by default, vim overwrites windows symlinks with a copy of the file on save. This is instead of following the symlink and writing to the correct location.
I have some setting in my .vimrc (not sure which one) that slightly alters this behavior. It writes to the symlinked location, but makes the file read-only, and then opening the file again in a new vim instance, and doing wq! destroys the symlink again like in the first case. For reference, this is for symlinks made in cmd.exe with "mklink target source" Any ideas about this? If there is no workaround, any suggestions on where to look in the code to make a fix? - Ian --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
