Package: vim-gui-common Version: 2:7.2.445+hg~cb94c42c0e1a-1 Severity: wishlist
Hello there, the current /usr/share/applications/gvim.desktop uses Exec=gvim -f %F which leaves the working directory set to $HOME. Therefore, commands like :make will fail if the file being edited is not in $HOME. This is often confusing, as one tends to forget this behaviour. In addition, I don't think one would normally want to leave the working dir set to $HOME. I'd like the Exec line to specifically change the working directory, for example by doing something like Exec=gvim -f -c"cd $(dirname %F)" %F What's your opinion?
