It allows AUCTeX to be aware of style files and multi-files. The default is "auto/" in the working directory. However you set the directory yourself. I have the settings: (setq TeX-auto-local "/path/to/auto/dir") ;; Sets /auto/ directory. (setq TeX-auto-save t) ;; Also sets lisp files to save in /auto/. If you want to switch it off then try (setq TeX-auto-save nil). I have never used that myself, so I don't know how successful it might be. Best wishes Colin.

This is actually created by AucTeX. I guess if you open the latex source file in emacs then it gets created automatically if you have AucTeX installed. It is documented here: https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/manual/auctex/Parsing-Files.html

Dear Colin, Thank you for that detailed information! I'll try them.

Hi Tom, Thank you for the immediate and useful answer! You've saved me a lot of time. Thank you! Best regards, Takeshi On 2017/03/04 1:06, Thomas S.

The "auto" directory contains files used by AucTeX, independently of Org mode. I don't know how to tell AucTeX where to put the directory. All the best, Tom -- Thomas S. Dye http://www.tsdye.com

[O] latex export creates "auto" directory
I have a question regarding latex export. When I export an org-mode to a latex file, a directory named "auto" is created in the same folder as the tex file. However, I couldn't find what line in the source code of org-mode creates this directory. Does anyone know what causes this, or what variables can be used to control where the directory is created?
