You don't have to be sorry. *I am* more than grateful by all you already have
given to us... A documentation lack is something expected in such big
projects, still on the move. That's not a problem for me. Your responsiveness
on the mailing list does correct such little features.

It does work, yes!
Though, it did not when I tested, as I surrounded the filename with double
quotes:
:file "filename.png"
No message. No file generated. That was the observation I could make.
Thanks for helping...

OK.
A side question (now that I have more graphics appearing in my example
document): is there/would there/will there be a way to regenerate all the
graphics included in my document?
I would be nice, as input data is changing over time. Let's take the example
you took in your doc: the directory organization on your disk. Let's imagine
you have 3 such graphics for 3 different disks. How could you get all of these
external commands launched for getting new data and new plots?
I can imagine (that's how Carsten does see the things with the tables, if I
understand correctly) this never will or would be automatic upon opening of
file -- and I can share the motivation for such decision. But can we imagine a
command that does the update of all blocks -- so, when the user does decide it?
Currently, I have to go in every block and C-c C-c them all, right?
Best regards,
Seb
