The only one of the icons I use is gVim, but I can certainly see the use of the "easy" one. Read only, it is easy enough to edit files readonly anyway after launching Vim, I see no reason to have a dedicated shortcut, unless it is in the "send to" menu. I don't know if it's in the official installer, but at least Steve Hall's installer also adds a "vimdiff" shortcut to the desktop which I likewise never use. I have created an equivalent one in the send to menu, but unless I'm missing something, launching vimdiff with no files by double-clicking on the desktop icon is pretty worthless. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
