I commented the above in my `.emacs' file and restarted Emacs. >> Anyway, I don't remember exactly why I did set that, but I think it's for >> easy >> opening of files (right prefix when `C-x C-f'). > > I just use C-x C-f ~/ > > and whatever current directory was active is dropped.

In fact, I implemented this, years ago, for "easily" attaching documents to emails. >> When looking for the current value of that variable I now have: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- default-directory is a variable defined in `C source code'. Its value is "/home/sva/Projects/Insurance/Acme/docs/operations-manual/" Local in buffer Upload_documentation.tex; global value is nil Automatically becomes buffer-local when set in any fashion. This variable is safe as a file local variable if its value satisfies the predicate `stringp'. Documentation: Name of default directory of current buffer. Should end with slash. To interactively change the default directory, use command `cd'. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- from both the Org file and the TeX file. Correct, thus. Though, I have exactly the same problem as yesterday: only the TeX file is produced locally when `C-c C-e d', and all the other files (.aux, .log and the .png from Ditaa) are stored in `~/'.
