Re: netrw reopening existing file through explorer shows temp file

Thanks for the quick response. It is now switching to the existing file as expected.

One unexpected side effect is that after the switch the file is getting set as readonly. Also, the :E command (with or without a file open) when used with netrw is now displaying the output: "shell returned 1". I verified that with the old netrw the command doesn't display this output.

I tested this with MacVim and if you can't observe the behaviors above it may be due to MacVim. I will test this tomorrow with Windows and let you know.

Best,
Yavuz
