Thanks for the patch - it is exactly what I needed.
I'm surprised no-one was interested, although I suppose back then I was
probably also one of the uninterested :-)
I only have one org file from which I generate a number of graphics as
well a PDF which contains the graphics. Don't many people do a lot more
of that kind of stuff and don't they want to exclude a directory with
generated files from, say, Git?
Any way, +1 for the patch, which I would like to see in Org.
Cheers,
Loris
