Tue, 21 Jul 2026 17:08:17 +0200 http://www.polarhome.com/horde/whups/ticket/?id=24 the "Delete" option in E325 should not be displayed When the "attention dialog" is given (E325), there is a list of options for the user. For example, if I am editing "a.c" in one terminal session, and try to open it in another one, vim finds that there is already a swap file for a.c and gives me the following warning: E325: ATTENTION Found a swap file by the name "a.c_swp" dated: Fri Dec 17 20:45:22 2010 [cannot be opened] While opening file "a.c" dated: Fri Dec 17 20:45:28 2010 NEWER than swap file! ... Swap file "a.c_swp" already exists! [O]pen Read-Only, (E)dit anyway, (R)ecover, (D)elete it, (Q)uit, (A)bort: I believe that the option to "(D)elete" the swap file should only be displayed if the "other" process is not running, i.e. if it has crashed. I did not find any documentation for this, but - this makes sense, - this seems to be the intention in memline.c, findswapname(), see the use of variable process_still_running Currently, the option to Delete the swap file is displayed even when the other process is still running. It probably isn't very "healthy" to delete the swap file then. Fri, 17 Dec 2010 20:53:04 +0100 http://www.polarhome.com/horde/whups/ticket/?id=24#t50
