Dear Anton, for some reason the file did not exist here. Perhaps I deleted it accidentally. So I cloned the repository again. And there it is. Now I'm trying if it is useful for me. I changed some code that I can use python-ranger to attach files: ########## function! s:NM_compose_attach() if filereadable('/tmp/chosendir') silent !ranger --choosefiles=/tmp/chosenfiles --choosedir=/tmp/chosendir "$(cat /tmp/chosendir)" else silent !ranger --choosefiles=/tmp/chosenfiles --choosedir=/tmp/chosendir endif if filereadable('/tmp/chosenfiles') let attachments = readfile('/tmp/chosenfiles') call system('rm /tmp/chosenfiles') for attach in attachments python nm_vim.get_current_buffer().attach(vim.eval('attach')) endfor call append(10, map(attachments, '"Attach: ".escape(v:val," \t\\")')) redraw! endif endfunction ########## It's even possible to mark and attach multiple files at once. Is it possible suppress the message returned by python nm_vim.get_current_buffer()? And do you have an idea what's the reason for the following message? ########## :call <SNR>33_NM_folders_show_search('') Exception in thread Thread-1: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 551, in __bootstrap_inner self.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 504, in run self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs) File "/home/sepp/.vim/plugin/nm_vim.py", line 195, in _refresh_thread authors, subj, tags)).encode('utf-8') UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 1: ordinal not in range(128) ########## Thanks for your great work and support Joseph
