Have recently installed GVIM 7.4 (2013, Aug 10) on a new Windows 7 laptop, and I'm having issues with anything temporary file related, and would really appreciate any suggestions please.
Current situation: * Attempting to diff two files will always show them as identical, even when clearly different * Shell commands that use temporary files (e.g. :'<,'>!sort or :read !date) report E483 Can't get temp file name * Was seeing E810 & E97 until going through the below steps I'm assuming the two are related, though I may be wrong. Apologies if that assumption confuses things. I've done a little reading around, finding a fair few people discussing issues with diff and suggesting changes to the MyDiff function, but I don't think that would be related to E843, so have focused on the other suggestions, namely: * setting my TMP & TEMP environment variables * including let $TMP="c:\temp" & let $TEMP="c:\temp" in my _vimrc * disabling UAC & rebooting * setting broad access permissions on the Vim install folder * changing the 'Start in' directory of the Vim shortcut icon (to My Documents) * Running Vim as Administrator (though my user is in the local computer admin group) * including set directory=.,$TMP,$TEMP in my _vimrc Any further suggestions very gratefully received: I love Vim and use it pretty much constantly for a variety of little tasks, so it's frustrating that I can't work out what's different from my previous setup where these things worked! -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
