Question

I upgraded my macvim to 7.3 recently and I can no longer open nerdtree or netw in the directory in which macvim was opened, it always opens in my home directory.

For example,

If I open macvim in /users/me/test/project dir, I want the NERDTree root to be /Users/me/test/project and not /Users/me.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

I did this

(all changes in .vimrc)

1. Enabled NERDTree as default.

   autocmd VimEnter * NERDTree
   

2. Put this script I got from github in .vimrc. This will make vim AND NERDTree buffer quit with :q

3. Say, your project folder is /home/user/my-project, then do this:

   mvim /home/user/my-project/README
   

   You wil get the parent folder in the NERDTree with the files in it.
