Hey guys thanks for your replies.
Still Doesn't work.
My gvim version is 7.2.
Aince at work I am using a revision control too, that is why having this
thing fixed is very helpful for me.
I almost shrunk my .vimrc down to this:
----------------------------------------
:set nocp
:set ru
" au BufReadPost * if&readonly | set nomodifiable | endif
autocmd BufRead,BufWinEnter * if&ft!='qf' | let&l:modifiable =
(&readonly ? 0 : 1) | endif
---------------
And I used the last two lines interchangably.
But still not good.
But, I figured something intresting.
I think what is going on (at least from my observation) is that this
specific setting is buffer related setting and not a file related. I tried
using split function with the name of the second file next to it:
:split read_only_file.txt
and this worked.
BUT, if I do
:split .
(which is what I usually do) that opens up the directory, where I can select
my file, then it is hosed up.
Wow, HEY! I also see the autocmd not working, if I open the file from
the netrw directory exploration window. In fact, the readonly option
does not even get set!
If I then use :e in the new buffer (with no arguments) to reload the
buffer, the readonly and modifiable options get set as desired.
I tried with the .vimrc you sent. I did not try disabling all plugins
besides netrw, but I don't use very many of them.
The autocmd works fine using splits with your .vimrc and no plugins at
all. This means the directory listing won't work.
Then I thought that okay at least I know if I put the name of the file next
to that split command, then it will work.
BUT, another wired thing is that if I do the same thing on a writable file:
:split writable_file.txt
and when I try to modify it, it DOENS'T work. meaning that I cannot write
into that file.
This, I cannot reproduce.
I opened writeable_file, modifiable was set.
I :sp nonwriteable_file, nomodifiable was set.
I :sp writeable_file2, modifiable was set.
This works even when the writeable files do not exist for me.
All this was done with no plugins, and the .vimrc you supplied at the
top of this post.
conclusion:
this is what is going on:
If I use (e: new_file) or (split: new_file) or (vsplit: new_file), then:
Regardless of the writability/readability privileges, I CANNOT modify the
file. In other words, "nonmodifiable" is set.
Did you make sure to close down Vim, and launch a NEW vim, with the
new autocmd between loads?
If I use (e: .) or (split: .) or (vsplit: .), then:
I can select my other file, but again, regardless of the
writability/readability privileges, I CAN modify the files. In other words,
"modifiable" is set.
I can duplicate this. In addition, noreadonly is set regardless of the
file properties.
I am using Vim 7.2.411 on Windows XP.
My netrw plugin starts with:
" netrwPlugin.vim: Handles file transfer and remote directory listing
across a network
" PLUGIN SECTION
" Date: Aug 10, 2008
" Maintainer: Charles E Campbell, Jr<[email protected]
NOSPAM>
" GetLatestVimScripts: 1075 1 :AutoInstall: netrw.vim
As a workaround, immediately after loading a file from NetRW, do an :e
with no arguments to reload the file and set the appropriate readonly/
modifiable options based on file attributes. I do not know why this is
not currently working.
Hm. Just a wild thought (untested): try the following (which assumes
'nocompatible'):
if has('autocmd')
au VimEnter * augroup nomodif
au VimEnter * au BufReadPost,BufNewFile * if &buftype == ""
\ | let &l:ma = &l:ro | endif
au VimEnter * augroup END
endif
Then restart Vim (every time you make changes to your vimrc, and after
saving your changes) in order to test it.
If it doesn't work: while editing a file where 'modifiable' is not what
you expect:
:verbose setlocal ma? ro? bt?
Best regards,
Tony.
