vim: save a list of open files and later open all files

Question

I want to save a list of open files (:ls), quit gvim, start gvim, reopen all previously opened files. I don't want to use :mksession because it doesn't work correctly (probably due to some of the plugins I'm using)

Answer 1

Maybe the bug/conflict with :mksession is only if you have parts of :mksession enabled that you don't care about.

Try this:

:set sessionoptions=buffers
:mksession
