Can anyone suggest workarounds? you might consider setting the 'directory' option to a real directory, then your swapfiles won't pollute the same path of the files you're editing, and also buys you the advantage of being able to query that path before a new edit session to see what if anything is already being edited you mentioned obtaining default behavior -- the default for 'directory' is to have real paths and all swapfiles in one place sc -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
