Session save in current folder

[iwkse]

Hi,
is it a way to save a session file in the current folder?
I think it's handy to have the ability to save the session within the source tree.

Not a convenient option, but you could use the g:session_directory variable to specify where to save your session files. There might even be a way to automate setting it when you switch to a project folder, or open a certain type of file (but I don't know enough about vim scripting to know how to do that).

I've not tested this much, but the following seems to work:

let g:session_directory = "./" 
let g:session_default_name = "session"
let g:session_autoload = "yes"
let g:session_autosave = "yes"

Or, if you want them stored in a single location (e.g. for syncing between computers):

let g:session_default_name = substitute(getcwd(), "\/", "_", "g")
let g:session_autoload = "yes"
let g:session_autosave = "yes"

e.g. would store a project opened in /Volumes/Projects/onions in ~/.vim/sessions/_Volumes_Projects_onions.vim

@smallhadroncollider I actually prefer using

let g:session_directory = "./" 
let g:session_default_name = "session"
let g:session_autosave = "yes"

then starting vim with vim -S so that i don't accidentally open the session if i dont want to.

Hopefully this is useful for someone
