Re: [Vim-latex-devel] Multiple file latex projects, finds correct filename but doesn't compile in right directory?

I meant a minimal working example. This one doesn't count because you used:

> \documentclass{article}

and then:

> \chapter{Introduction}

but chapter doesn't exist in article.cls (it does in report.cls or 
book.cls though)

Also:

main.tex.latexmain is fine, but you can also use simply "main.latexmain" 
without the tex. That might look a little nicer (?). (I also recommend 
using \include for chapters so you can \includeonly them later in your 
writing process)

I got rid of my .vimrc and .gvimrc and used your .vimrc, and everything 
still works for me.

compiler.vim hasn't changed in a long time. You said you were using svn 
revision 1115, which is fairly recent (3 months ago). Have you tried the 
latest git version?

You could try something silly like:

:let g:Tex_CompileRule_dvi='pwd > thisdirectory'

and run \ll after that. Look for a "thisdirectory" file. See where it 
shows up (in ./chap1, in ./, or perhaps even in ../ <?>) and what its 
contents are. I'm sure there's a cleaner way to do debugging in vim, but 
I'm no vim expert.
