Hello,

Just something which might be usefull as a workaround.

I know org-babel-tangle allows you to tangle blocks to certain location,

and there is also a hook available for post-processing.

Now what if you'd put your whole file in a source block, with language 'org',

tangle it to the location you want and use exporting capabilities as post-processing tool?

Could be an awfull workaround :)
but it's the first thing that popped up in my mind when reading your question

have fun,

Dieter

I want to export a single file to somewhere other than its current directory. Using publish seems to be over the top for this simple use case.

I can't find a variable or in buffer option that lets me set the output directory. Searching the list turns up org-export-publishing-directory, but this seems to have been deprecated. Is there something obvious I have missed?

Ian.
