Re: Disable swap file for large files?

Oops, I guess You wanted to DISABLE for files larger than a certain size, not ENABLE them. You could do the same thing in reverse, or potentially enable by default and then disable locally in a BufReadPre. I'm not sure whether that works or not.

 

 

Thanks for the suggestions Ben and John, I went with the following:

  "try to disable swapfiles for large files                                                                            
  augroup disable_swap_large_files                                                                                     
    autocmd!                                                                                                           
    "5 megs                                                                                                            
    autocmd BufRead * if getfsize(expand('%:p')) > 5242880 |                                                           
          \ setlocal noswapfile noundofile | endif                                                                     
  augroup END             

 

It seems that the backup option is a global one so I didn't change that one.

 

Regards,

Jorge
