Hi,

on orgmode 8.3.2 I've got a large org-file. Offen, I need to export a subtree 
like this:

-----------------
* Subtree to be exported
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: /PATH/TO/FOLDER/filename
:EXPORT_TITLE:
:END:

foo

-----------------

I'd like to save the exported file in a project folder, as you can see in 
EXPORT_FILE_NAME .

It would be very helpful to use link abbrevations in EXPORT_FILE_NAME :

(setq org-link-abbrev-alist
   '(("anglisky" . "~/Path/whereever/%s")))

in .emacs and write:

-----------------
* Subtree to be exported
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: anglisky:filename
:EXPORT_TITLE:
:END:

foo

-----------------

Possible? Feature Request?

Thank you!

Regards,

Not possible. Also, link syntax sounds awkward because most links
wouldn't make sense there.

What about introducing a new property:

  :EXPORT_FILE_DIRECTORY:

When set, e.g. to "dir", assuming EXPORT_FILE_NAME is set to "foo/file",
export file name becomes "dir/file".

Since you can set it per subtree or document, I think it would help in
your situation.

WDYT?

Hi,

+1 on this. I wanted this as well a while back and didn't know how to do 
it (or whether it's possible or not) so I gave up.

Background: I'm using orgmode on different platforms, Windows and Linux. So I 
(being very proud of that!) wrote an if-clause:

(setq org-link-abbrev-alist
   (if (eq system-type 'windows-nt)
      '(("foopath" . "//Sbs2011/ra2000/Bilder/2010/271-2011/%s")
)
      '(("foopath" . "/home/AW/some/path/2011-271-project/%s")))



So on Windows foopath becomes the first path, and on Linux the second and all 
my links in the orgmode files work on both platforms.

A cheap solution for EXPORT_FILE_NAME: just have two lines and comment out the 
wrong one!

-----------------
* Subtree to be exported
:PROPERTIES:
# :EXPORT_FILE_NAME: //Sbs2011/ra2000/Bilder/2010/271-2011/filename
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: /home/AW/some/path/2011-271-project/filename
:EXPORT_TITLE:
:END:

foo

-----------------

But comment seems not to work inside properties.

However, :EXPORT_FILE_DIRECTORY: would only improve _my_ situation, if I could 
make it dependend on a condition. 

Thank you very for your help!

Kind regards,

At this point, I suggest to write your own `org-export-subtree-to'
function. You can have a look at, e.g., `org-html-export-to-html' and
override the call to `org-export-output-file-name'.

Elisp should provide the flexibility Org cannot offer.

Thanks for your feedback.

Any other feedback on the "EXPORT_FILE_DIRECTORY" feature?

In an earlier email you wrote:

> export file name becomes "dir/file".

Would it make more sense to concatenate the properties: dir/foo/file?
I’m not a user of multi-file export, but here’s the kind of scenario
I imagine arising (I’ve used an abbreviated syntax for specifying
properties; hopefully it’s clear):

a.org

,----
| * A project
| ** One file
| :EFN: foo.html
| 
| A link to [[bar/page.html]]
| 
| ** Another file
| :EFN: bar/page.html
| 
| Interesting content.
`----

b.org

,----
| * A version of the project for mobile
| :EFD: mobile
| :CSS: mobile.css
| 
| #+include: a.org
`----

In this case, the link will break.  (Maybe the link could be made to
work in org by using e.g. an ID link – but someone still might want the
mobile version of bar/page.html to live at mobile/bar/page.html not
mobile/page.html).

Maybe you have a different kind of use-case in mind?

Thanks,
