Vim notes note working properly in 7.4
Hi,
I have 7.4 version of Vim installed on Windows 7, however I'm having issues for vim not being able to detect vim-notes commands, for example:
When I create a new note (Using :Note) and change the title and type 3 astrisks, it detects 3 asterisks (ie. ***) and properly formats that in the middle of the screen but then when I reopen the file, it doesn't rename the file with the title that I gave earlier and also fails to properly align/detect the 3 astricksk (i.e., ***) also doesn't detect any other vim-notes commands.
The problem seems to be happening when I set g:notes_directories to a different path
let g:notes_directories=['C:\Users\administrator\My Documents\Notes\']
Thanks,

Your description is a bit confusing...
When I create a new note (Using :Note) and change the title and type 3 astrisks, it detects 3 asterisks (ie.
***) and properly formats that in the middle of the screen
I'm following so far ...
but then when I reopen the file, it doesn't rename the file with the title that I gave earlier and also fails to properly align/detect the 3 astricksk (i.e.,
***) also doesn't detect any other vim-notes commands.
Notes are given a filename when you save them, not when you open them (unless an inconsistency is detected, but your description doesn't imply so).
Nevertheless the problem seems clear: The automatic loading of the notes file type doesn't work as expected. Two suggestions for next steps:
- Did you try removing the trailing backslash from the example you gave, and is it still broken then?
- If so, please execute the Vim command
:autocmd PluginNotesand copy/paste or include a screenshot of the output here. Most likely something goes wrong in the filename matching and this step may help to point out what exactly.
Hi,
Here's the output of :autocmd PluginNotes.
Above, when I said "... when I reopen the file,..." I basically meant that after having saved the file, when then I do :RecentNotes and open the file, at that point Notes plugin is failing to highlight the syntax etc.

Hi and thanks for the reply. I haven't used Windows in years, but I do immediately notice the two very different directory pathnames:
-
In your first message you mentioned using the following line in your Vim configuration:
let g:notes_directories=['C:\Users\administrator\My Documents\Notes\'] -
The output you quoted in your last message includes two directory pathnames:
-
C:/Users/IBM_ADMIN/vimfiles/misc/notes/user -
C:/Users/IBM_ADMIN/vimfiles/misc/notes/shadow
These look like the defaults set by the vim-notes plugin, but there's no reference to the custom notes directory you configured.
-
Are you sure this is not the output when g:notes_directories isn't set?
Hi,
My notes_directories is definitely set to: let g:notes_directories=['C:\Users\IBM_ADMIN\My Documents\Notes']
I've verified this by running: let g:notes_directories
May be that's could be the problem that the new variable for notes_directories isn't working as it should have?
@xolox, first, thanks for your work!
Do you have an idea, what minimum version of vim is required, such that all the features work? Our Cluster is using something 7.2ish and a few things do not work (i.e. Tab indention, Folding...).
