At the moment, when starting "gvim --remote-silent" gvim would display an error message, indicating that no file name was provided. This is quite a nasty behavior if you - like me - at times just start gvim (using a macro including "--remote-silent") w/o a file name just to get gvim "up and running" as an OLE server in the background.
I don't think that the necessity to provide a file name is a real requirement, but just a relic from the beginnings of the implementation for "--remote-silent". The same holds for "--remote" and "--remote-tab". -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
