compass config issues on compilation / watch

Question

I have this:

Project
├───public_html/
│   ├───css/
│   |    └───style.css
│   |
│   ├───img/
│   |
│   ├───js/
│   |
│   └───index.html
|
├───scss/
│   ├───ie.scss
│   ├───print.scss
|   └───style.scss
|
└───config.rb

config.rb

http_path = "/"
css_dir   = "public_html/css"
sass_dir  = "scss"
output_style = :compressed

and I'm doing:

compass watch "scss/style.css"

Its creating (overriding) the style.css as expected. (so far so good). But when I edit the style.scss and save it its compiling inside the scss folder with this:

...
├───scss/
|   ├───.sass-cache/
|   ├───ie.css
|   ├───ie.scss
|   ├───print.css
|   ├───print.scss
│   ├───screen.css
│   ├───screen.scss
│   └───config.rb
...

like ignoring the first config.rb and moving the root inside the scss folder.

In addition I just want screen.scss compiled, the rest will be included.

Any ideas? Thanks

As a solution I've ended up compiling the files directly from the scss forlder and I now have there the main config.rb I still would like to have control about where the config.rb is and the subfolders that are getting filled in the compilation process.

If anyone has a way to better control this, please let me know.

The other thing: "to compile just a few of the scss files"

The way to do this is to rename the files you don't want to be compiled starting with underscore _print.scss (instead of print.scss). The good thing is that you can still import the files as you normally would, without the underscore (even if the actual file has the starting underscore)

@import "print.scss"
