BIND and LaTeX export

BIND and LaTeX export

Hi,

Is it me or something is wrong with the very latest org-mode (git
repository).
I have this line in my org-file :

#+BIND: org-latex-pdf-process ("pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode
-shell-escape -output-directory %o %f")

My default value for this variable states that lualatex is used for
compilation.
Even using the BIND line, it is still lualatex which is used.
And I have set org-export-allow-bind-keywords to t.

I'm pretty sure it worked a couple of days ago.

Thanks for any help,

I'm surprised it even worked. BIND keywords only affect the export
process, i.e. Org to LaTeX translation in this case. File compilation to
PDF is a post-processing thing, these keywords don't survive that long.

You may use file local variables instead.

I may have been fooled by my emacs config.
But anyway, given the name org-latex-*,
I thought that it could make sense that this variable survive
till the end of the compilation :-)

Thanks for the hint.

I understand the problem, but given the separation between the export
framework and its back-ends, it's difficult to do so. 

Indeed, variables are bound in the temporary buffer copy created for the
translation but back-ends commands are only given a string (or a buffer
or a file name) containing the output. At this time, the copy isn't
alive anymore.

IOW, there are a few variables that cannot be set using BIND keywords.
On the other hand, they still can be set with file local variables.
