That's weird. I created a test.org file in /tmp/foo/bar/baz/test.org and made a small ditaa diagram (foo.png) with two rectangles in it. C-c C-e d creates ,---- | be...@gollum:/tmp/foo/bar/baz$ ls | foo.png test.org test.pdf test.tex | be...@gollum:/tmp/foo/bar/baz$ `---- and nothing else. I don't get .aux, .log etc in there. For me all files are in the same directory as the .org file. ,---- | default-directory is a variable defined in `C source code'. | Its value is "/tmp/foo/bar/baz/" | Local in buffer test.org; global value is nil `---- I'm afraid I'm out of ideas on this one. -Bernt _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
