Likely yes. In fact, ob-latex is making use of `org-preview-latex-process-alist' only in a single cond branch in `org-babel-execute:latex' - when we have :file foo.png However, that branch assumes that `org-preview-latex-default-process' is 'dvipng (the default value). If one changes it to, say dvisvgm, the generated image will not be a .png image: (setq org-preview-latex-default-process 'dvisvgm) #+begin_src latex :results file link :file test.png x^2 #+end_src #+RESULTS: [[attachment:test.png]] ^ This is actually an svg image, renamed to "test.png". So, it makes sense for `org-babel-execute:latex' to override `org-preview-latex-default-process' temporarily, to something actually generating .png file. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
