Tilde not expanded during latex export

Tilde not expanded during latex export

[Alain.Cochard]

release_9.6-193-g30314c 

I have file '~/Org/test.org', which contains

   #+begin_src org
     * foo
     bar
   #+end_src

I do 'C-c '' from within the src block, then 'C-c C-e l o' from the
*Org Src test.org[ org ]* buffer.

The minibuffer asks for an output file:
 
   Output file: ~/Org/

I add 'foobar.tex' then <RET> and get:

   Wrote /home/cochard/Org/foobar.tex
   Processing LaTeX file ~/Org/foobar.tex...
   Latexmk: Filename '~/Org/foobar.tex' contains character not allowed
   for TeX file.
   Latexmk: Stopping because of bad filename(s).
   Rc files read:
     /etc/latexmkrc
   Latexmk: This is Latexmk, John Collins, 17 Mar. 2022. Version 4.77,
   version: 4.77.
   if: File "/home/cochard/Org/foobar.pdf" wasn’t produced.  See "*Org
   PDF LaTeX Output*" for details

(that Output buffer just repeats the same info)

Now, if instead I write the '~' explicitly, as

   Output file: /home/cochard/Org/foobar.tex<RET>

then everything goes smoothly and the expected pdf is generated.

Is there a way to circumvent this (minor) inconvenience?

Thanks
