As far as I know (though others may know better) this isn't possible
using per-file configuration with the simple export functions (C-c C-e l
and friends). It *is* possible through the publishing framework,
though.
When you define a publishing target in org-publish-project-alist, you
can specify both the :base-directory and :publishing-directory options.
For example:
(setq org-publish-project-alist
'(("orgfiles"
:base-directory "~/org"
:publishing-directory "~/tmp"
:publishing-function org-publish-org-to-html
:base-extension "org$")))
See the documentation for "Publishing."
This approach, however, requires you to do some Elisp customization, and
it requires you to statically define your source and destination
directories. You may need something more flexible or configurable on a
per-file (or per-export, even) basis. The only solution I know of there
is to export to a temporary buffer, then save that buffer in the
location you want -- though of course this requires interaction from
you.
If others know of a middle road between using the publishing framework
and just doing C-c C-e L C-x C-s every time, I would be interested in
hearing about it too. (If there isn't a middle road, consider this my +1
on adding this feature.)
Best,
Richard
