Hi András, For pdf export, I have ended up using cmake to do an out-of-source build [1] so all the files that latex produces go in one, expendable directory and the original directory (under git management) remains free of clutter. It is a little complicated though. I dream that one day maybe org will be able to tangle its own CMakeLists.txt on export. > Even worse, if the .org file uses Babel to create files (say, in PNG > format) as a result (via ditaa, graphviz, etc.), then these files > end up in the directory containing the .org file, not in > /tmp/export-test, where the HTML file is placed.
