Bug: Option to disable evaluation of code blocks during export [9.3.7 (9.3.7-dist @ /PATH/TO/org/install/emacs/site-lisp/org/)]

[John Ciolfi]

Could you add an option to disable evaluation of code blocks when exporting? If 
I
have an org-file with many code blocks setup for evaulation (babel), when I 
export, I get
prompted for every code block. Also the prompt does not clearly show which code 
block it's
asking to evaluate.

One solution would be to have org-export-dispatch have an option at top which 
says whether or
not to evaluate code blocks during export. It should be configurable to be on 
or off. I would
suggest off as I see most of us running the evaluation as we write the code and 
not during
export.

I'm able to work around this issue by adding advice, e.g.

  (defun sb-org-export-dispatch-no-babel (orig-fun &rest args)

    (let* ((org-babel-default-header-args
           (cons '(:eval . "never-export") org-babel-default-header-args))
           (result (apply orig-fun args)))
      result))

  (advice-add 'org-export-dispatch :around #'sb-org-export-dispatch-no-babel)

Thanks
John
