It could be a reason why the plugins don't work if I copy them to vimfiles/plugins or vimfiles/after > I'm not running vim as root, why should I do that? Owned by root does not mean that you can't READ the files. Vim doesn't need to do anything except read them, and it can. I guess I'm confused as to where you installed your plugins. It's typically best to install them in ~/.vim/ rather than system wide
If the Vim 7.2.245-1 will work the same as my previous version, in case if I create that "after" directory and copy everything from ~/.vim into it, I would be happy to do it. In that case everything should work without setting runtimepath in ~/.vimrc
But I'm not sure that's the case. Will try and let you know.
I installed all my plugins in ~/.vim directory. But as I said earlier, non of my plugins worked with Vim 7.2.245-1 before I added "set runtimepath..." in ~/.vimrc
That's why I tried first to copy my plugins in /usr/share/vim and /usr/share/vim/vimfiles and other places. But nothing helped. I didn't knew about "after" directory, that's why I haven't tried that yet.
