I've been trying to figure out the named dirs issue I wrote about
several weeks ago, but I'm still having problems. The situation is
this: I would like to create a named dir "palmfiles" expanding to
"~/Documents/Palm/Users/Aaron Davies/Files to Install". To this end, I
have in my .zprofile the following line:
export palmfiles=~/Documents/Palm/Users/Aaron\ Davies/Files\ to\
Install
and in my .zshrc:
setopt AUTO_NAME_DIRS
Try putting that setopt in .zprofile, _above_ your variable definition,
or move the variable definition into .zshrc. The execution order of
startup scripts is:
.zshenv .zprofile .zshrc .zlogin
