So I added this into my .vimrc to fix the problem:
autocmd BufRead * execute ":cd ".getcwd()
This should be a no-operation, unless the current window has a local
directory (set by :lcd) in which case (IIUC) it sets the global working
directory to the current local directory. Not what I would want.
That's the point. This SHOULD be a no-operation, but it isn't. I can't
reproduce this reliably, but from time to time, I also see file paths
that are not simplified with respect to the current directory on a
fresh file load. Simply issuing :e after loading the file corrects the
issue for me (I have 'autochdir' set). The OP is saying that all it
takes is a ':cd .'. Presumably an :lcd would do something similar.
Yes, sorry I didn't reread the upthread.
However my point is that ":exe 'cd' getcwd()" is NOT a no-operation if
the current window is under the effect of :lcd. Example:
- current directory is /foo
- open 2 windows
window 1, cd is /foo, no lcd
window 2, cd is /foo, no lcd
- in window 2, do :lcd /bar
window 1, cd is /foo, no lcd
window 2, lcd is /bar
- still in window 2, do :exe 'cd' getcwd()
window 1, cd is /bar, no lcd
window 2, cd is /bar, no lcd
(current directory for window 1 has changed).
OTOH ":lcd ." is not a no-operation if the current window is not yet
under :lcd, because it uncouples this window's lcd from the global setting:
window 1, cd is /foo, no lcd
window 2, cd is /foo, no lcd
:cd /bar
window 1, cd is /bar, no lcd
window 2, cd is /bar, no lcd
(both change). ":lcd ." in window 2
window 1, cd is /bar, no lcd
window 2, lcd is /bar
then :cd /foo in window 1
window 1, cd is /foo, no lcd
window 2, lcd is still /bar
if we hadn't done :lcd . in window 2, its current dir would now be /foo
Best regards,
Tony.
