I have gvim 7.3 installed on Windows 7 Enterprise (32-bit). When I
select a bunch of files, right-click, and choose "Edit with single
Vim", the working directory for vim becomes "Symantec Endpoint
Protection" rather than the folder that contains the selected files.
Is there a simple tweak that I can make to ensure that the working
directory is the same as the folder containing the editted files?
Possibility 1: (in Vimrc)
au VimEnter * silent! cd %:h
Note: This will always cd to the directory containing the last edited
file (if any), even if _not_ using Edit with Vim
Possibility 2: (at the keyboard) type
:cd %:h
Note: this is not automatic, you have to do it every time
Possibility 3: construct a keyboard shortcut and/or a .bat file which
would execute
gvim -c 'silent! cd %:h'
followed by all your file names
Note: This is not a complete solution, the detail is left to the student
as an exercise.
I tested none of them, and I am not on Windows (i.e., no "Edit with Vim
menu here).
Best regards,
Tony.
