[Vim-latex-devel] filebrowser.vim

[Srinath A. <sr...@fa...>]

Hello,

Recently, we have been using a modified version of explorer.vim to work
along with texviewer.vim to accomplish file name completion in
latex-suite via the <F9> key. I have never been keen on maintaining
a seperate copy of explorer.vim. First of all, it conflicts with the
standard vim distribution. There are other problems too, but I will not
spend time on that here.

Therefore, I wrote up a very lightweight replacement of explorer.vim
called filebrowser.vim. It strips most of the features of explorer.vim
away and provides a very basic "API" for the rest of latex-suite.
Basically, it functions more like a library component rather than
a dedicated plugin. I have had to change texviewer.vim to use this also.
Anyway, a new branch with this has been created as filebrowser-branch.

Use

cvs -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/vim-latex co -r \
filebrowser-branch vimfiles

to get the branch from cvs. Please report any issues. Also, is there
anything else which is lacking in this branch which was available in the
previous way of using explorer.vim?

If I do not receive any bug-reports, I would really like to remove
explorer.vim from latex-suite's cvs tree and use filebrowser.vim
instead.

Thanks,
Srinath
