Hi,
I'm trying to set up my .org file such that export commands create all
results in a certain directory rather than the directory containing
the .org file. So I've added the option
#+BIND: org-export-publishing-directory "/tmp/export-test"
at the beginning of the file, which seems to work fine for a simple
test file with HTML export.
If I try to export the .org file as a PDF document, however, the
result still resides in the directory containing the .org file --
which isn't what I want and is also counterintuitive given the name of
the variable set in the BIND option.
Even worse, if the .org file uses Babel to create files (say, in PNG
format) as a result (via ditaa, graphviz, etc.), then these files end
up in the directory containing the .org file, not in /tmp/export-test,
where the HTML file is placed. This leaves the HTML output completely
broken.
Is there a proper way of doing this (short of "publishing", which
isn't what I want because I find it too complex in my case), and am I
doing something very wrong here?
Thanks,
András

Hi András,
For pdf export, I have ended up using cmake to do an out-of-source build
[1] so all the files that latex produces go in one, expendable directory
and the original directory (under git management) remains free of
clutter. It is a little complicated though. I dream that one day maybe
org will be able to tangle its own CMakeLists.txt on export.

IIUC, this part of the problem should be easy to solve with the :dir
header argument? You can set it once for the whole file with:
#+PROPERTY: dir /tmp/export-test

Thanks, but the "dir" PROPERTY appears to affect the target directory for
babel's results, neither the HTML nor the PDF output are influenced that way.
Combining BIND and the "dir" PROPERTY, I can get HTML and babel files in the
right place, but not the PDF.
Any other suggestions? :)

Yes, that's why I said "this part of the problem".

Yep. Change three characters in org-latex.el. Problem solved. Maybe. :)
The attached patch addresses a difference between the latex and html
exporters, enabling the user to choose a different output directory
for latex/PDF export by binding org-export-publishing directory, just
as was already possible for html export.
If there's a latex user following this thread who understands the ways
of the latex exporter, could you have a look to see that it doesn't
screw up anything else before I submit a properly formatted patch?
Yours,
Christian

Hi,
I fixed this bug.

You showed the direction -- thanks! The right fix is to use
org-export-latex-options-plist, which is initialized by combining
opt-plist (general options for publishing) and ext-plist (local LaTeX
options for publishing.)
Thanks,
