Interesting...I use FuzzyFileFinder for finding the files themselves right now, but I can see the value in having a feature like that built-in.

> Is there any way to do this within Proj?

Nope, it's simple by design. Project.vim seems mainly for projects that need to pull in files from all over the place and probably fulfills that goal well. If I need to search the working directory, I'll use ':!grep -RI "term" .' (or vim's grep which is pretty nice).

I say that project.vim stinks because it's awkward and its usage is unclear. Maybe I've never "gotten" it, but I think there are many others like myself who really, really wanted to like project.vim but just couldn't use it.

I have my mind on other goals. One is to add a toggleable split that gives useful version control information by integrating with the VCS plugin.

Thanks for the feedback. I like the idea of introspecting the directory names...I'll see if I can work that in there.

You have to put quotes because otherwise Vim complains about using undefined symbols (I don't plan on using the command interface in the long run; probably something more like what MiniBufExplorer does, or even FuzzyFileFinder's hack of the completion system). I agree that it's clumsy, but the command interface is limited, and can only accept paths with quotes omitted.

Please report any bugs and/or feature requests. Project.vim stinks so I'm set on finding a simpler path.

Yea, Scribd was aggravating enough in this case for me to return from a half-year hiatus...I imagine the demand is strong for such a thing!

I know I signed that as my final post, but I feel the need to assure you that I wouldn't be offended by something so silly.

Sometimes you just get bored with a place and feel like moving on :^)

I think I'll spend less time on sites like these and more playing this fine Buffet clarinet I picked up on Saturday. It's been a while, but my embouchure's returning already.

Pick PHP if you want to use Wordpress, phpBB, Drupal, and a wealth of other great open-source web apps.

P.S. Final post; great community here!

Wow, let's hear it for being judgmental!

Unlikely. Those Seinfeld ads didn't actually try to sell anything. A bit of overpriced, mild brand reinforcement most likely would not have affected the company's short-term prospects.

By the way, what M$ is doing here is very screwed up. They're laying off the first batch (1400) immediately, but using the remaining 3600 as a threat to make competition cutthroat. I might just quit if I worked there.

Yes, incendiary unsourced quotes and all.

Karen Hughes, one of his closest advisers, "rarely read books and distrusted people who did."

Who knows where that came from. Gotta love billion-dollar words thrown in like "homunculi" and "ratiocination" instead of the clearer "cronies" and "reasoning," respectively.

I just can't help but feel that this particular analyst is strongly biased.
