new to exporting: how to export to a specific location (aromatically?)

Hi list

im new (in general and to exporting in particular).

I have a few questions:

1.how does one specify a location where exported files go? can one set this
per file or perhaps per export type etc?

2. can one auto export files when saved/changed etc?

3. i cant understand the difference so much between export and publishing,
apart that publishing is only for html (and not txt etc..)?

Thanks alot

Z

Org manual section 12.3 at the end EXPORT_FILE_NAME  for subtrees; IUC 
this cannot be applied to a buffer -

footnote 133 There is no buffer-wide equivalent for this property. The 
file name in this case is derived from the file associated to the 
buffer, if possible, or asked to the user otherwise.

Like you I am also answers to the other two questions.

Hi,

This can be done with defining an export backend and a little bit of
hacking (hint: `org-export-output-file-name' accepts a directory
argument) or by using projects.

Try `after-save-hook' and export asynchronously, e.g.
(org-html-export-to-html t).

Projects can include several files and allow you to set project specific
variables. See `org-publish-project-alist'.
