third export request

third export request

[Austin Frank]

Last one on this topic, I think :)

I don't know if this is more of an org-export or an org-publish request, 
but I'd like to be able to do something like

     (setq org-export-as-ascii-directory "~/notes/text/")

and have any org-export-as-ascii files sent to that directory.  Likewise 
for the other org-export-as-* functions.  It'd be nice to be able to 
configure where the ical files end up when they're exported, as well.

Allowing exports to be written to specific directories seems like it 
might provide a sensible default for the :publishing-directory plist 
entry in org-publish-projects-alist, but I admit I haven't thought that 
through very thoroughly.

Thanks again for reading,

This is no problem.  I will probably not make separate variables for 
this, but allow an alist value for org-publishing-directory that can 
look like this:


(setq org-publishing-directory
      '((:html . "./html/")
        (:ascii . "../text/")
	   (:xoxo . "html/")))

Something along those lines.

I have too many publishing options already - I should have done this 
with property lists from the beginning, but unfortunately did not think 
of this possibility.  Sort of too late now.

This looks good.  Will ical be included in the same alist even though it
is not an org-export-as-* function?  If not, will there be a way to set
an export directory for icalendar-export-* ?

Thanks,
