I like to save the state of my files before I leave vim using the

automatically:
au BufWinLeave * mkview
au BufWinEnter * silent loadview
But everytime it runs, I get a strange error:
Error detected while processing BufWinLeave Auto commands for "*":
E739: Cannot create directory: /Users/myusername/.vim/view
E190: Cannot open "/Users/myusername/.vim/view/~=+.vimrc=" for writing
It can't create the necessary director for some reason. I am running
on an administrator
account, so I have all the permissions necessary.
Do you have a $HOME/.vim/ directory? If $HOME/.vim/view/ doesn't exist,
:mkview will create it, but I don't know if it's clever enough to create
parent directories recursively if _they_ don't exist.
BTW, isn't it enough to restore the cursor position? There is an
autocommand for that at lines 72-80 of $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim
(Last change 2008 Dec 17, as shown on line 4). (Syntax highlighting etc.
ought to be taken care of the same way as for newly opened files)
Best regards,
Tony.
