I had to write a long, important emai today and I wanted it to be just right. I used the preview function to check how it read in html, then edited the org source, then previewed again, iterating a few times. Because the preview function uses make-temp-file to generate the filename to open, the generated file is gauranteed to be in a different place each time, thus opening a new browser tab (or xwidget buffer, if you use that) every time! This becomes a hassle quickly -- ideally I would like behaviuor a bit more like working on a latex document, where the generated output is in the same place every time. Then I would only have to refresh the browser window (or setup a hot-refresh for the file or something).
So, could we use a reproducible method to create the filename?
