I commented the above in my `.emacs' file and restarted Emacs.

Yes, I'll do that now... In fact, I implemented this, years ago, for "easily"
attaching documents to emails.
>> When looking for the current value of that variable
I now have:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
default-directory is a variable defined in `C source code'.
Its value is
"/home/sva/Projects/Insurance/Acme/docs/operations-manual/"
Local in buffer Upload_documentation.tex; global value is nil
Automatically becomes buffer-local when set in any fashion.
This variable is safe as a file local variable if its value
satisfies the predicate `stringp'.
Documentation:
Name of default directory of current buffer. Should end with slash.
To interactively change the default directory, use command `cd'.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
from both the Org file and the TeX file. Correct, thus.
Though, I have exactly the same problem as yesterday: only the TeX file is
produced locally when `C-c C-e d', and all the other files (.aux, .log and the
.png from Ditaa) are stored in `~/'.
Ununderstandable...
Best regards,
Seb
