Print message if external program (e.g. enca) not found. about autofenc HOT 7 CLOSED

Thanks for the idea! In commit 530ad8c, I have added emission of warning messages when the external program is either not executable or its execution failed.

Note: As usual in this plugin, such messages are emitted only when g:autofenc_emit_messages is set (it is off by default).

Please, make an emphasis in README.md that g:autofence_emit_messages should be set in AutoFence.vim, not in vimrc - for those who does not consider that obvious. And better yet I suggest settting this flag to 1 by default. I also suggest replacing all echomsg with simple echo not to be annoyed with "Press ENTER" all the time.

The g:autofenc_emit_messages option can (and should) be set in .vimrc:

let g:autofenc_emit_messages = 1

Generally, one should not modify plugins, but rather set options in .vimrc. Why would you want to set it in AutoFenc.vim rather than in .vimrc? Maybe you meant it vice versa?

As for setting this option to 1 by default, I am hesitant to do that. I find that this option is more useful during debugging (e.g. why is this encoding set?) rather than during day-to-day work. Also, other plugins rarely print messages. This makes 0 a better default value. However, maybe other people feel differently about this option?

As for replacing echomsg with echo, the problem with echo is twofold. First, it does not store the messages into message-history, so you cannot recall them after they disappear. Second, when multiple messages are emitted, you still have to press Enter to continue (well, depending on cmdheight). Again, I feel like echomsg is more appropriate, but if more people lean towards replacing it with echo, I will do that.

Okay, this time so far let's hold over all the points of our discussion, except for emitting messages. The point is that setting g:autofence_emit_messages to 1 in ~/.vimrc does not work for me. I even tried to place let g:autofence_emit_messages = 1 before execute pathogen#infect(). Does not work, unfortunately. May be I should open another issue, shouldn't I?

I have tried

vim -D Unit1.pas

and found out that AutoFence.vim is executed after ~/.vimrc. Don't know why it is so and, especially, how to fix it. This is why setting g:autofence_emit_messages to 1 does not take effect.

May be the issue is in the AutoFence.vim.

Damn, the deal was in the typo.
Not g:autofence_emit_messages but g:autofenc_emit_messages.
Sorry.

That's OK. I am glad it is working for you now. If you encounter any other issues, let me know.
