Update current directory on opening files about uivonim HOT 4 CLOSED

Any reason this can't be fixed via a simple nvim.command('cd dir') or similar whenever a new directory is opened, or perhaps by a neovim option to do the same? Or should this be handled differently (I haven't looked into the code that provides the git information, so maybe there's a different way of finding the directory that should be used instead)?

I don't think that's how nvim behaves -- the cwd remains set to the directory on startup, but statusline components are of course related to the current buffer. It's just that the Uivonim components do not behave the same (i.e., do not adapt to changes of the buffer). So it's an issue only on the Uivonim side, I think.

Ah, okay. So just need to get the directory based on the current file (or the root folder of the current file, i.e. where the .git directory is) and not using the cwd. Perhaps there is a plugin somewhere that has an implementation of this which could show how to do this properly?

Unless I'm misunderstanding, it seems this was fixed at some point; it worked on master pre-#191, and as of 7eb67ff it now works again. Closing.
