[Babel] Prefix for tangled files

[Babel] Prefix for tangled files

[Sébastien Vauban]

Hello,

Wanting to use Babel as much as possible, writing a lot of scripts that I
tangle (and eventually share with others), I find that prefixing all tangled
files shoud be a good habit in order to directly see which files (in dired)
are the results of a tangling process.

Of course, I can have this habit, but others (and colleagues) may not have it.

Would it make sense to have an Org-Babel variable for such a prefix
(defaulting to the empty string, and overridable per block, subtree, file,
language, as for the rest)?

Best regards,
  Seb

Hi Seb,

You could use the `org-babel-post-tangle-hook' to rename all tangled
files behind some common prefix.  Any function on this hook will be
called once per tangled file from within the tangled file, so it could
use the `buffer-file-name' to rename the file.
