Yes, you are correct. And, in fact, the naïve way to insert the property
dynamically (using ~org-export-before-processing-hook~) does not work:
#+name: does-not-work
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :exports none
(defun ltb-org-insert-export-file-name (backend)
(save-excursion
(goto-char (point-min))
(while (search-forward-regexp "^[*] Lecture \\([0-9]+\\)" nil t)
(forward-line 1)
(let ((num (match-string 1)))
(unless (looking-at "^:PROPERTIES:")
(let ((pty (format ":PROPERTIES:\n:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: lecture-%s.pdf\n:END:\n" num)))
(insert pty)
(message (buffer-substring-no-properties (point-min) (point-max)))))))))
(add-hook 'org-export-before-processing-hook 'ltb-org-insert-export-file-name)
#+end_src
The property drawer is ignored, presumably because org has already
scanned the file and determined the filename. I guess one would need to
reach inside the document structure and alter the filename there, but I
don't have that knowledge.
Suggestions are welcome.
