In KDE 3.5, to launch gvim by clicking a .f file and have the good
working directory (without adding anything in the .vimrc), you must
pull the Konqueror's "Settings" menu, choose "Configure Konqueror"
then "File Associations", choose x_fortran in "text", click gvim then
"edit" then "Application". In "Command", I typed
$HOME/bin/gvim -c "cd %:h" %f

(note that the % is not doubled, even %f is optional. Also note that
you have forgotten cd in your command).

Alternatively, you may edit the
$HOME/.kde/share/applnk/.hidden/gvim.desktop
file.

I keep thinking that this command should be done by default by gvim.

Thank you John,

Best regards,

Jean Johner
