When I go to export a file and the image path I've specified is wrong, the minibuffer displays:
Process completed with errors: [package error] The actual LaTeX error is: LaTeX Warning: File `./path/to/file.png' not found on input line 180. ! Package pdftex.def Error: File `./path/to/file.png' not found. While not unfathomably useful, I'd love it if this could be parsed into something like "image/file not found" instead of "package error." I connote "package error" with my efforts to switch from a distro-specific (Arch Linux) installation of TexLive to the official installation. I got a lot of "missing package" errors until I finally had everything installed that Org wanted. If I immediately saw a "missing file" error, it might save me having to =C-x C-b *Org TAB RET= to the buffer followed by =M->= to the end of the file to see what the error actually was. In a lot of cases, I'm re-using stuff from other documents and I'd catch the mistake of using the wrong relative path, fix it, and re-export. I figure this to be one of more common LaTeX errors, so thought I'd mention my experience/suggestion. Maybe hard to implement than I realize! Thanks, John
