I see that something has to change...but I'm still not sure how. The current behavior is confusing to say the least -- when I change it I want it to be completely obvious what is going on. I'd rather avoid introducing another option for this. Under what circumstances _should_ the pwd be set? Well, if new files open in a new window then I guess it should always be set when opening a file (?), so the question only really applies to when you've set MacVim to open files in the "current" window. Maybe with this option set the pwd should never be touched? At least this is consistent (I think your suggestions 1 & 2 may lead to some confusion however). Does anybody have comments on this (please make yourselves heard)? Let me rephrase this slightly: is there anybody out there who has got MacVim set to open files in the "current" window and who wants the pwd to be set when they open a new file? (If so, when?) > PS. Thanks for your work on MacVim, it is fantastic :) I'm glad you like it! Björn -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist. Do not top-post!
