[Vim-latex-devel] [PATCH] cwd change on file open

[Alexander S. <as...@ph...>]

Hi list,

I've recently noticed the following unexpected behaviour. I have tested 
this with vim-latex-1.5-20090804-r1058 and vim 7.1.138 and vim 7.2.22.

When opening a file e.g. with :e or gf, the cwd changes to the
directory of that file.
While in most scenarios you won't notice, in mine it does have an
impact. I have a big document organised in lots of smaller files, that
reside in a subdirectory together with images etc:
   main.tex
   intro/intro.tex
   chap1/chap1.tex
   .../...
Since I'd like images to be generated automatically (plus a number of
other niceties), I compile with a combination of make and rubber. This
fails after opening one file in a subdir, as make can't find a Makefile
in the subdirectory. With vim-latex 20060325-4.1 this worked flawlessly.

I've tracked the problem down to an apparent bug in the .latexmain
searching & sourcing code in texproject.vim. I propose the attached
trivial patch against vim-latex-1.5-20090804-r1058, which fixes the 
issue for me.


Cheers,
Alex
