How to not change CWD in NerdTree when open file node?

How do I prevent NERDTree from changing the CWD when I open a file node?

I usually open a project folder with

cd apps/project
vim .

I want NERDTree's current working directory to be fixed with (apps/project) when i open a file node.

I tried :let NERDTreeChDirMode=0, but it does not work.

The way to do this properly, on a new install, for example, is to set the g_spf13_no_autochdir to 1, on .vimrc.before.local (sets the toggle before all of spf13 is loaded)

echo let g:spf13_no_autochdir = 1 >> .vimrc.before.local

This will let you customize NERDTree behaviour without modifying spf13's config.

The let NERDTreeChDirMode=0 should be put in your ~/.vimrc.local for the spf13 vim plugin distribution, not executed after the fact. Also make sure that acd or autochdir is not in your ~/.vimrc.local.
