Hi,
I just download GVim portable 7.2
I usually use a couple plug ins and color scheme ,
As instructed in the readme () , I put them under the directory :
Data\settings\vimfiles\
Under that directory I have the following sub-directory that contain my colors and plugins:
colors\
doc\
plugin\
But the Gvim portable did not pick any plygins and colors from that Data\settings\vimfiles\ directory.
Any help is appreciated
!
Thanks

I use gVim Portable extremely regularly at Uni, and I use a custom color scheme (molokai) in Data\settings\vimfiles\colors\molokai.vim. It works fine. As for the help files, I imagine you haven't regenerated the help tags which is necessary for it to detect them; run this command:
:helptags $HOME\vimfiles\doc. I haven't got any plugins myself, but I have observed that the ftplugin directory (file-type plugins) in $VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin and $HOME/vimfiles/ftplugin are not loaded, and have been unable to ascertain why (it's just weird). When Vim 7.3 comes out (planned for within the next couple of months or so I believe) I'll be asking Bram to make an OLE-free build for us which will mean that it's not dependent on my build environment (which was missing Python/Perl/Ruby/Tcl), which could potentially have other side effects too, I imagine.I am a Christian and a developer and moderator here.

I reinstalled GVimportable in order to start from scratch.
I put the coloscheme in the directory as instraucted.
gVimPortable\Data\settings\vimfiles\colors\peaksea.vim
And gvimportable is still unable to load the scheme
Did you put a special instruction in your vimrc ?????
THanks
That's the correct location. You should then be able to load it with
:colo peaksea. If that's still not working, could you please try the following;:version(which should confirm that it's looking in $HOME for the [g]vimrc - it is loading that file, isn't it?) and:echo $HOMEto make sure HOME is set properly (it most certainly should be).I am a Christian and a developer and moderator here.

Hi,
I screw up with my own vimrc !!
Now it works as instructed. I can get my color loaded.
And furthermore, the plug ins are loaded too when I put the plugins directory in
gVimPortable\Data\settings\vimfiles\plugin
Thanks
Glad you've got that sorted out.
In my own case, the plugins (plugin) are working, but not the filetype plugins (ftplugin).
