Having problem with latex export of image file

Having problem with latex export of image file

[Robert Goldman]

I have the following in my org file:

#+CAPTION: Sample (partial) plan graph.
#+LABEL: fig:sampleGraph
#+ATTR_LaTeX: width=.9\textwidth
[[plan-with-tc-start.pdf]]

which I believe should give me a figure.  However, when I run this
through the latex export I get the following instead:

\hyperref[plan-with-tc-start.pdf]{plan-with-tc-start.pdf}

I pushed "pdf" onto image-file-name-extensions but that doesn't seem to
make any difference.

I figure there's something simple I'm doing wrong, but I can't figure
out what that is.

Thanks for any advice!

best,
r

Try 

[[./plan-with-tc-start.pdf]]

Thanks.  That did fix it.  Question:  what's the rule about file names
here?  Is it that there must be a non-empty directory part?  Or
something else?

A second question:  is there any way to set image file extensions /on a
per-file basis/?  It seems to me, for example, to be quite likely that
in some files PDF should be treated as images (since I use pdflatex, pdf
seems like the best choice for images), whereas in others maybe not...

But it seems like image-file-name-extensions is not something that is
expected to be buffer-local....

From observation of effects, it seems to me that in LaTeX export:

o plain file names in links get hyperref'ed, e.g [[image.pdf]
o pathnames in links get a figure environment and \includegraphics, e.g. [[./image.pdf]]
o file: type links get \includegraphics without a figure environment, e.g. [[file:image.pdf]]

I didn't look very hard, but I didn't find documentation on these.
But I seem to recall some discussion of this on the ML a long time ago.

In HTML export, everything is a link. What happens in other exports,
I have no idea.

This is right (I think) as far as it goes, but it misses the larger
point: the effect of #+CAPTION.  See

        http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/17814/focus=18537

for more details.

If Robert or you can provide a documentation patch for this, it would
be nice.  It's not (only) laziness from me: since you stumbled on the
issue, I guess you can better explain what is at stake.

Thanks!

I'm ordinarily willing to chime in with a manual patch, but this seems
odd enough that I wonder if there isn't a bug that needs fixing.

In particular, it seems very weird to me that the latex exporter would
treat un-directoried pathnames as files to be exported as links rather
than inline images *even if there is a #+CAPTION present*.

Is it worth re-examining this, instead of documenting it?
