Actually, IIUC, no. See :help 'viminfo' for what can be saved. Note that "registers" are saved, and registers are where recorded macros go, so, one work-flow that might suit you is to record macros for the changes you make.

But, I suggest a solution would be to *not exit vim* after each file. Naybe use the arg list, so :w then :n to the next file, and . will work nicely. If there are several changes, :rewind the list for each change. If the list of files can't be determined at the beginning of a session, after writing a file, :e the next, or use drag and drop in a GUI.

I suppose you're really asking for vim to always record to, say, the "unnamed" macro, so that the viminfo mechanism could save and restore it. I googled for "vim automatic macro record" and "vim always record macro" with no pertinent results; I thought maybe someone had done a plugin to simulate it.
