I can reproduce it on Linux too (Vim-7.2.267). File ".svz" can't be recovered with "vim -r .svz". And Ex command ":recover .svz" gives the following error: "E305: No swap file found for .svz" But file can successfully be recovered after renaming it: $ mv .svz .swz $ vim -r .swz I suppose that it's a bug. -- Dominique --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
