Maybe it would be more clear with some example.
I use "gvim -dR" as external diff-tool. I examine differences between
two files and it's so convenient to open another file of the project
to edit it or just look in. With 1.4.8 launched gvim has current
directory X, so it's easy to open another file of the project. Now
it's more difficult to do it, because I should enter a long path or
manually switch current directory. Moreover, inside %TEMP% I remain
without tags file, etc...
As for me, I have no idea how %TEMP% could be useful.
Is there hope to find this behavior in the future releases?
Thanks for your attention.
