Per above, you could use latexmk "-C" option and move both ".tex" and ".pdf" file to appropriate directories.
I wasn't aware of the "-C" option, it looks like it could - with some settings - blow away the intermediate files that latexmk uses to minimise compile passes.
This breaks the export process, because `org-compile-file' can no longer find, and return, the produced file. `org-compile-file' has to know where the output is.
Ah, OK. I'm curious, however, how a compiler (eg tex2dvi) cd'd to a different working directory can ever resolve links to image files.
One problem is that we already provide compilation commands that do not set it (e.g., the "texi2dvi" command above). As I wrote, if we leave default-directory alone, something else has to be fixed. In any case, I removed default-directory setting and, hopefully, applied the necessary changes to commands.
I'm very grateful for your help with this and for trying this change/reversion. I'll try it with the next release.
Best, alex
