Thanks for providing the appimage of Vim. This is very helpful to work with a recent Vim version on my very old Ubuntu at work.
I'm having some trouble starting Vim on command line with a file as argument. For example $PWD is $HOME and I issue ~/bin/GVim-v8.1.0139-gita8a60d0c6-glibc2.15.glibc2.15-x86_64.AppImage .bashrc Vim will open a file in /tmp/.mount_qMpnvg/usr/.bashrc instead of $HOME/.bashrc. I tried to add -c "cd $PWD" which has no effect as it is executed after reading the file. Adding --cmd "cd $PWD" does not work because in this case the runtimepath variable contains wrong directories (not absolute paths) and the distributed configuration is not found.
