Just my .01 cents...
For Latex stuff I'm using just
#+HEADER: \input{preamble}
and have my preamble.tex in the working directory. (For Beamer stuff it
goes in a LATEX_HEADER).
Changing that to
#+HEADER :inputs '("preamble")
well, would be a matter of taste.
However, adding the :dir option to the equation could be a game-changer for
me (at least)
Best, /PA

Dear list,
in the attachment you find a proposed patch to support including external files
when exporting a latex source block. Currently this was only possible by using a
:header argument. The problem with this approach is that, files needed to be
included with their absolute path.
My proposed change adds support for a :inputs header argument, which expands te
provided file paths to an absolute path before including them.
Example:
#+HEADER: :file example.pdf
#+HEADER: :inputs '("./input/preamble.tex")
#+BEGIN_src latex
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw[->,custom-style] (-3,0) -- (-2,0)
arc[radius=0.5cm,start angle=-180,endangle=0] (-1,0) -- (1,0)
arc[radius=0.5cm,start angle=180,end angle=0] (2,0) -- (3,0);
\filldraw (-1.5,0) circle[radius=1mm];
\filldraw (1.5,0)circle[radius=1mm];
\end{tikzpicture}
#+END_src
Expands to
\documentclass[article]...
\input{absolute/path/to/input/preamble.tex}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw[->,custom-style] (-3,0) -- (-2,0)
arc[radius=0.5cm,start angle=-180,endangle=0] (-1,0) -- (1,0)
arc[radius=0.5cm,start angle=180,end angle=0] (2,0) -- (3,0);
\filldraw (-1.5,0) circle[radius=1mm];
\filldraw (1.5,0)circle[radius=1mm];
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
Kind regards,
Bob

Subject: [PATCH] lisp/ob-latex.el: Added latex inputs
* lisp/ob-latex.el (org-babel-execute:latex): Added support for
including external latex files. Using the :inputs header, external files
can be specified to be included at the top of the produced tex
file. All relative file paths are resolved before including the files.
(org-babel-header-args:latex): Added the inputs as a possible header argument

Hi, adding an "input" type of header is one option. What about adding a
call to resolve relative file names instead, thus solving maybe other
needs in addition?

That was my second approach. I was concerned that forcing all imports with
an absolute path could break existing exports? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Using the :header syntax external files can be loaded in via the old way,
whereas using :inputs all relative paths are resolved.
The downside of course is that we clutter the export settings with a new
parameter.
Kind regards,
Bob

Rather than changing paths to absolute, we can simply play with the
working directly for latex process and set it to the directory of the
.org file (unless :dir argument is passed to the latex source block).
This is probably the most expected behavior.

Ihor

If I understand you correctly, changing the latex processing directory
enables you to use relative paths in macros such as \input{}. If so,
it's as trivial as adding `-cd' flag to `org-latex-pdf-process` when
using `latexmk`.

It would be trivial if org-latex-pdf-process were not a custom variable.
I suspect that we may need to use something similar to what export does.
However, setting the right working directory is what other babel
backends do. The fact that ob-latex is not doing the same is an
unfortunate inconsistency and causes the input issue and can potentially
cause other problems.
Best,
Ihor
