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
