[Vim-latex-devel] Prevent mainfile scan in parent directories

[Christoffer Ø. <chr...@gm...>]

Dear vim-latex comminity

I'm currently working on a somewhat large project in latex, which includes
several files for individual chapters as well as several TikZ-figures. To
achieve faster compile-tine when modifying the TikZ-figures I use the
standalone-class and package, which allows the compilation of the figures
individually.

When modifying the main text I would like to use the "mainfile"-feature, so
I don't have to manually switch to main.tex, compile, and go back to
whatever I was editing. This however does not work if I have my TikZ-files
in a subfolder, as I will then compile the entire document when I just want
to compile the figure.

Folder example:

mainfolder/
|--- main.tex
|--- main.tex.mainfile
|--- chapter1.tex
|--- chapter2.tex
|--- figs/
     |--- chapter1figs/
     |     |--- tikzfig1.tex
     |     |--- tikzfig2.tex
     |--- chapter2fig/
           |--- tikzfig3.tex

Can I disable the backwards search for the mainfile, so only files *in the
same folder* compiles the mainfile, and I can compile tikzfig1-3 separately?

Hope you guys can help.

Best regards
Christoffer
