I'd like to try and avoid introducing more options. What different types of behavior do you want? Currently (after the latest patch) it goes like this when you open one or more files (not using the "mvim" script): 1. If this causes a new window to appear on screen then the working directory is set to the first file that is being opened (they are sorted alphabetically because Finder does not "remember" the order in which you select them). 2. Otherwise (i.e. you have gone into the prefs and set MacVim to open new files in the "current" window, or you're dragging to a window) the current directory is not touched. The old behavior was broken because the pwd would change even if you had manually gone in and changed it (e.g. via a ":cd .." command). If you open files using the "mvim" script the working directory is the same as Terminal's working directory. If you open a new empty window (e.g. via Cmd+N, or when starting MacVim) the working directory will be set to your home directory. Björn -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
