That's weird. I created a test.org file in /tmp/foo/bar/baz/test.org
and made a small ditaa diagram (foo.png) with two rectangles in it.
C-c C-e d creates
,----
| bernt@gollum:/tmp/foo/bar/baz$ ls
| foo.png test.org test.pdf test.tex
| bernt@gollum:/tmp/foo/bar/baz$
`----
and nothing else. I don't get .aux, .log etc in there.
For me all files are in the same directory as the .org
file.
,----
| default-directory is a variable defined in `C source code'.
| Its value is "/tmp/foo/bar/baz/"
| Local in buffer test.org; global value is nil
`----
I'm afraid I'm out of ideas on this one.
