Hi Eric,
yes, this looks fine to me and works :-) What do the others think? I believe overwriting is the desired behaviour on export. I use org-publish-attachment for images, stylesheets, scripts and so on. And they shurely should be updated in the publishing-directory. I just wonder, why I never ran into that problem. All the other files where always overwritten. One more: If I refile an entry containing such an ditaa image, the old image remains in both, the base-directory, and the publishing-directory. An option to set the image directory relative to base-directory (and adjust the link accordingly) would be very nice. That way, we could refer to the image in other files too and the links would work after refiling such an entry.
