Re: How to copy and rename a file with netrw where the target and source directory are the same?

Hi Chris,

I appreciate the netrw author taking an interest in my newbie problem - but I am still stumped. I am running gvim 7.4.884 on Arch Linux. I checked some global variables -

:ec g:loaded_netrwPlugin
v153
:ec g:netrw_localcopycmd
cp
:ec executable(g:netrw_localcopycmd)
1

then I launch netrw on a directory which I have read/write permissions
mt
mf
mc
entered new file name
**error** (netrw) tried using g:netrw_localcopycmd<cp>; it doesn't work!

any clues?
