I think I had missed your earlier comment about exporting regions. > also, it doesn't expand a tilde ~ to my > home directory, so writing > > :EXPORT_FILE_NAME: ~/tmp/temp.tex > > doesn't do what one would expect.

But it does say if the property EXPORT_FILE_NAME is set, then the exporter will respect it. So if you could set it with some lisp, then you might have a working solution. However you can still make this work but only for sub-trees (not regions) by using relative paths, as in my example. However this does require that your org directory is the same with respect to your $HOME on both systems. So if your org files are in $HOME/org then maybe try "../tmp/file.tex". I know either of these are not exactly what you were looking for, but I am just trying to work around my lack of knowledge about org-mode internals to work out a possible solution. > also, i'd like to be able to specify an export directory for the entire org > file, not just a subtree. Yes this is what I had mentioned in my first post as a feature that I would like too (even more awesome if remote directories are permitted :)). I think right now you can do this by specifying projects in your init files, not sure though. I think I saw a thread related to that within the last few of months, maybe worth a look? -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free. _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
