Hi Bastien,
Thanks for your feedback.

This case will be treated as before the patch: output will go to the
“png” file. (The :output-dir property, if present, will apply.)

I agree. I think the current patch does this as long as :output-dir is
an absolute pathname, but I have not tested that case. I will

At present, it doesn’t.

One option would be to use :file-ext instead, to generate a :file
parameter. I didn’t go this route because autogenerating :file from
other parameters seemed like too much magic. But your points in the
other direction are good.
How does this sound as an algorithm:
1. if :file is present, behave exactly as we do now
2. if :file is absent but :file-ext and a #+name is present, generate a
:file parameter from :output-dir, the #+name, and :file-ext.
Open questions:
1. should :file-ext without a #+name be a no-op, or an error?
2. should :output-dir apply to the :file case as well?
