g:autosave option for saving if default session exists about vim-session HOT 1 CLOSED

Hi Jonathan and thanks for the feedback.

I never intended the session plug-in to be used to store session scripts all over the filesystem :-). The guiding principle was that you would have one directory where all uniquely named session scripts would be stored. Nevertheless I understand that people do this, and that's fine of course, but I'm not going to further compromise the basic design of the plug-in to accomodate this.

Having said all that, I think the plug-in should already be flexible enough to accomodate this use case. Please try adding the fragment of Vim script code given below to your ~/.vimrc script:

autocmd BufReadPost * call s:CheckDefaultSession()

function s:CheckDefaultSession()
  let directory = expand('%:p:h')
  if filereadable(directory . '/default.vim')
    let g:session_autosave = 'yes'
  else
    let g:session_autosave = 'no'
  endif
endfunction

I'm closing this issue now because the code given above should enable your use case without changes to the plug-in. If it doesn't work, feel free to reopen this issue.
