I change _vimrc to filetype text as a test I.E. set ft=text and the swap file was still being created . However, I disabled my plugins and the autocmd worked . I'm of the impression there's a conflict with subsequent filetype settings .
As such I decided on an alternative :: Saving the swaps into a dedicated directory . IE. set dir=$HOME/_vimswap//,%TEMP%//,/%TMP%//,. That will work for me .

When 'swapfile' is set, and 'updatecount' is non-zero, a swap file is immediately created. Why do you think it's not working? Maybe your "text" filetype isn't being detected? I didn't think there was such a filetype by default. What is the value of your filetype option in the file you're worried about? -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
