Files should not clutter user-emacs-directory #3

  • Every operation that I perform creates three files
    {tex,png,pdf}, which are all stored in my ~/.emacs.d/
    directory (variable user-emacs-directory).

  • I was expecting any created files to be stored elsewhere:

    • in order to avoid cluttering

    • in order to tightly associate the files to its parent org file.

  • Some options that would make sense to me:

    • A dedicated subfolder of 'user-emacs-directory'. The disadvantage
      of this option is that it collects files from many parent org
      files in a single location, ie. no tight association between
      parent org file and children {tex,png,pdf} files.

    • A dedicated sub-folder at the org-file's location, possibly with a
      naming convention that includes the org-file's name. For example,
      files created for /home/alice/Documents/foo.org would be
      stored in sub-folder /home/alice/Documents/foo_org_ob_files/.

  • I wasn't expecting so many files to persist, when only the png file
    is used. The other two files seem like clutter that should be
    automatically deleted.

  • I'm a brand new user to your package. I think it's a great
    contribution to Emacs and org-mode. Thanks for sharing it with
    everyone.
