LaTeX compile without setting a project file

I typically edit several tex files concurrently in WinEdt that are 
totally unrelated to each other.

I would like the LaTeX compile command (also pdflatex, etc.) simply to 
apply to whichever file is currently in focus without ever explicitly 
setting a main file, but somehow in installing to the latest build this 
setting got changed so that the wrong file compiles.

Could someone tell me which setting to change to restore my preferred 
behavior?

Thanks,
David

Mailing List Guidelines

      WinEdt Mailing List Guidelines
      ==============================

   These guidelines are sent to the WinEdt Mailing List once a month.
   Please keep them in mind when posting to the list.

   ---------------------------------------------------------------------

* What To Post

   The WinEdt Mailing List is for questions about the WinEdt editor. You
   should  not post questions concerning LaTeX, MiKTeX, BibTeX et al. to
   the mailing list. WinEdt is a shell/editor for  LaTeX  etc.  and  the
   list  is  intended  to  answer questions concerning WinEdt, not LaTeX
   etc.
   (Sometimes it might be difficult  to  decide  whether  a  problem  is
   related to WinEdt or to MiKTeX, LaTeX etc. A rule of thumb is: If you
   are having the same  problems  when  running  the  program  from  the
   command line, it is NOT related to WinEdt.)

   A lot of questions are being asked over and over  again.  Check  that
   your question isn't already answered in the WinEdt FAQ at
      <http://www.winedt.org/Doc/FAQ>
   or in the mailing list archives at
      <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WinEdt>.

   When sending a question to the mailing list, try to be specific.
   Include (at least)
     + the Build number of your WinEdt (see "Help | About WinEdt...")

Re: XML-Highlighting ?

Hi Stefan,

I developed a xml highlighting scheme 5 years ago and wanted to publish 
it together with a real xml mode. But I never got the mode that far, 
that I could call it "beta", although I work nearly every day with it.

I'm really short of time in the next 2 months, so I cannot prepare a 
small setup for just the highlighting part, but I could provide you the 
.dat files. Would that be OK?

Greetings,
Georges

I don't believe there is any such strange default behaviour - I suspect
instead that you inadvertently clicked the "Set main file" button.

Just click the "Remove main file" button or select that entry in the Project
menu.

RE: XML-Highlighting ?

Hello,

I use the HTML mode when I'm dealing with XML. It's pretty much the same
thing so you get highlighting and all the completion macros. For
example, when you have:

<foo>
	...
Here, you can type << and it detects foo and closes it automatically
(</foo>).

Double-click on the mode in the status bar and change it to HTML to try
it. If it's satisfactory, add ";*.xml" in Options/Preferences/Modes to
set it up permanently. Look under Options/Settings/Active strings for
useful completion macros.

Sounds great, but I would need a short instruction on what to do with
these .dat files. No need to hurry, I'm on vacationt soon till end of
august.

Thanks, this works great for writing xml, but I need to read xml files
and understand their nesting.

There never was any such page in WinEdt 5.4. Extended
execution modes interface is new in WinEdt 5.5 and there should
be no need to change the defaults because they are compatible
with Adobe 8...

You'll need to install a newer version of WinEdt...
