Hello,
I have found how to set a temporary directory for org-babel export files
(using org-babel-temporary-directory), but I cannot find how to specify
that, by default (i.e., unless specified with a "file" option), files
should be exported to a temporary directory.
My motivation for this is that I keep a single folder with many org-mode
files, some of them for presentations, papers, or letters. I regularly
have to go in there and get rid of all the .tex, .log, .pdf, .aux, etc.,
that accumulate.
Thanks,
Alan

Yep, I see how this would be useful. I'll add this on my TODO list.
Eric, is it something that you would find useful?
Best,

An alternative would be to publish to such a temporary directory, then
have a post-publish command to run to finish building the document. This
is what I would have favoured before the asynchronous exporter (as
building may take a while so would be better done with an external
command), but now I would be very happy with using a temporary directory
for export (defaulting to the directory where the org file lives).
