I've installed snapshot 70 and that seems to have done the trick. I've started a thread for a problem with my snapshot 70. $ ps aux | grep vim /Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim -g -f -o /Volumes/Data/Users/a.gulati/Desktop/email_signature.txt /Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/MacVim -psn_0_319566 The +/ flag has gone now which solves the issue. I still don't understand the -o flag, apparently. man vim says it will "open a window per file", but if I select multiple files in Finder and open with MacVim I get splits, as I've specified in my Preferences, which is what I want, so no problem for me. I remember getting windows unpredictably sometimes in previous versions so if that comes up again I'll attempt to trace it down, otherwise no more complaints on this :-) Thanks very much for your help. I'm confident to continue to run snapshots now, and notify bugs, if that helps. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist. Do not top-post!
