I don't know how Carsten will address this, but it seems that the running of the org-export-preprocess-hook is done too late for your purposes (from inside org-export-preprocess-string and inside a (with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create org-mode-tmp) ... construct, where there is no buffer file name). Can you run org-update-all-dblocks by hand before doing the export? That should update the org file and the export should then have all the right information, no? If so, you can even automate the process by advising org-export, so that org-update-all-dblocks is run before org-export proper is called.

Although I'm wondering if there isn't a hook that I can add a function to manage what I want. Maybe this will work: the current buffer-file-name is saved in org-export-as-html (and I assume in the other export routines) in a dynamically scoped variable called org-current-export-file. The value of that variable should be available in the hook as well. So instead of (buffer-file-name), you probably want to say (or (buffer-file-name) org-current-export-file) That way, your updater can be called both from inside and outside the export functions.

Great solution. We could also introduce a new hook which is run before export. However, for the functionality discussed here, I think that before-save-hook would be a very good place too. - Carsten HTH, Nick ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
