Won't autoset filetype with filetype on after calling OpenSession about vim-session HOT 4 CLOSED

The file type of a buffer is not stored in the session so if you set it manually, save your session, restart Vim and open the same session again the file type won't be restored. That doesn't seem to apply here though.

If you enabled syntax highlighting and file type detection in your session before you saved it, the following lines should be in your session script (which you can view with the command :ViewSession while having the session open):

if exists('g:syntax_on') != 1 | syntax on | endif
if exists('g:did_load_filetypes') != 1 | filetype on | endif

These lines enable the syntax highlighting and file type detection and this has worked fine for me. How do you call :OpenSession "as soon as vim starts"? From your vimrc script? And what version of Vim and the session plug-in are you using?

from vim-session.

Here's what it put in my session script:

if exists('g:syntax_on') != 1 | syntax on | endif
if exists('g:did_load_filetypes') != 1 | filetype on | endif
if exists('g:did_load_ftplugin') != 1 | filetype plugin on | endif
if exists('g:did_indent_on') != 1 | filetype indent on | endif

I call OpenSession like so:

function! RestoreSession()
  if argc() == 0 "vim called without arguments
    OpenSession
  end
endfunction
autocmd VimEnter * call RestoreSession()

I'm using session.vim 1.4.25 and vim 7.3(and MacVim, both have the same
behavior)

Thanks! Great work!

I think I know what the problem is. The session plug-in supports a default session out of the box (so I'm not sure why you define your own VimEnter automatic command instead of using the one installed by the session plug-in) and the automatic command definitions look like this:

" Define automatic commands for automatic session management.
augroup PluginSession
  autocmd!
  au VimEnter * nested call xolox#session#auto_load()
  au VimLeavePre * call xolox#session#auto_save()
  au VimLeavePre * call xolox#session#auto_unlock()
  au BufEnter * call xolox#session#auto_dirty_check()
augroup END

Note the nested keyword. I bet that if you add that to your autocmd line it will work.

Works perfectly! Thanks for the help!
