Bug: EXPORT_FILE_NAME error [9.0.3 (9.0.3-elpaplus @ /home/andrea/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20161224/)]

[Andrea]

Hello,

thanks for org mode, it is great!
I am having a problem with the latest version of org: I really would
like to be able to export buffers in a different directory, and so far I
used the :EXPORT_FILE_NAME: property for this use case.

However, after upgrading to the latest release it seems that something
does not work anymore: the pdf file is generated but the output
directory is ignored!

You could reproduce this by:

1) cd ~
2) touch test.org
3) echo "* bla
   :PROPERTIES:
     :EXPORT_FILE_NAME:  /tmp/bla
   :END: 
   " > test.org
4) emacs test.org
5) C-e C-s l o

Error here: org-compile-file: File "/tmp/bla.pdf" wasn’t produced.  See "*Org PDF LaTeX
You should see that the LaTeX file is in the /tmp directory, but that
the pdf is in the home directory.

It would be marvellous if this could start working as before.
Thanks and Happy New Year to everyone,

Andrea

I cannot reproduce this. I get files /tmp/bla.pdf /tmp/bla.tex and my
reader opens the former file.

FWIW, there have been some discussions in recent months about pdf export.

On my macbook, C-h v org-latex-pdf-process RET gives:

org-latex-pdf-process is a variable defined in ‘ox-latex.el’.
Its value is ("latexmk -g -pdf -pdflatex=\"%latex\" -outdir=%o %f")
Original value was
("%latex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f" "%latex 
-interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f" "%latex -interaction 
nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f")

[...]

which works for macOS Sierra. See the full docstring for details.

IIRC, the original value does not work for me to export to another
directory.

HTH,
