This is plugin for automatically restore one file's cursor position and folding information after restart vim. This is a simple script to autosave cursor position and fold information using vim\\'s mkview.  Although you can easily do this job by just add serveral line to {.,_}vimrc, write a script plugin can make it more clean and nice.  We assume you use a new enough vim to enjoy these feature. Hope you love it:)                                                                          Views are only be saved when you save/write a file or EXIT VIM.      Suggested Setting: Please put them in you vimrc: set viewoptions=cursor,folds,slash,unix " let g:skipview_files = ['*\.vim']                                                                    Set it in a plugin file looks dirty to me.  So you\\'d better do it your self.  This only keywords not in viewoptions is \\\"options\\\". I believe it does not belong to a view.  If you think you need it, feel free to put it in.  If you do not want views of some files to be saved, please set g:loaded_restore_view. The longer time you use, the bigger view folder you will have.  So if you use UNIX environment, you may need to use cron to do some clean job.
