Hello, I would like to modify the value of 'dir' option for a few specific files (e.g: all files in directory ~/Foo/). Had 'dir' been a buffer local option, it would have been a easy thing, au BufEnter ~/Foo/* set dir=newval
But 'dir' is global across buffers. Can anyone suggest workarounds? I have tried au BufEnter ~/Foo/* call ChangeDir() au BufLeave ~/Foo/* call RevertDir() function ChangeDir() let b:tmp=&dir set dir=newval endfunction function RevertDir() exe 'set dir=' . b:tmp endfunction ..but BufEnter fires *after* swap file is created. If you want to know why I'm doing this - it is to prevent .swp files being created in my DropBox folder (and retain default behavior in all other cases) -Karthick -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
