Setting vimwiki defaults
grep, vim
Solution
from the comments, it turns out, your `$HOME/cerebra` is a softlink to `/home/thomas/Dropbox/wiki`.
So vimwiki works just fine.
small suggestion:
You could consider to create a link in dropbox, not the other way round. dropbox supports it.
Problem
The situation: I was using vimwiki, I stopped for a brief flirtation with emacs/org-mode, and then ran screaming back to vim. I figured it was a good time to clean up my kludgy setup, and so I started with a fresh ~/.vim directory, installed pathogen, and I've been adding packages that way. What's very strange is, when I go to start a new vimwiki index file, I get the message: ``` Vimwiki: Make new directory: /home/thomas/Dropbox/wiki/wiki ``` despite my .vimrc containing instead ``` let g:vimwiki_list = [{'path':'~/cerebra/wiki', 'path_html':'~/cerebra/export/html/'}] ``` That is to say, it's trying to save the wiki in a place almost, but not quite, like my previous vimwiki installation, and ignoring the new setting I've given it. I bet if I understood how to use `find` with `grep` I could find where this setting is so that I could delete it. I examined each file in ~/.vim/bundle/vimwiki, and found no instance of the word "Dropbox" there, and it's nowhere in my vimrc.
