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

[Gerd W. <ger...@ma...>]

Hi,

there is currently no possibility to disable this feature globally. 
However, you can set

   :let b:Tex_MainFileExpression = expand('%:p')

in the buffers belonging to your tikzfig*.tex files to explicitly set 
the main file for compilation.

Hope this helps,
Gerd
