Re: temporary inclusion of a read-only file / inline element into orgmode buffer
Check out org-transclusion, it covers some of the use cases you describe or could be used to implement them. The issue with giant results, especially those that have very long lines, is more challenging, but being able to specify that different output streams should go to files instead of results might be a start, or having them go to a file and having process do the equivalent of tail on the file to continually update the results stream of the buffer would be really useful (if it could be done without disrupting other editing flows. The shortest path to splitting file vs buffer would probably be to decorate org-bable-insert-result (in ob-core.el) to detect the size of the result and write the full result to a separate buffer if it is beyond the limit you set.

temporary inclusion of a read-only file / inline element into orgmode buffer
Hello, I was wondering whether anyone here knows how to effect a temporary inclusion of a file into an org file. What I mean: I would like to use orgmode to keep a documentation / devops document. That document will contain commands ( with lots of start_src...end_src...results blocks), where such commands usually produce small results (20-60 lines), which are to be included inside the document. But, on occasion, the command will produce 2,000,000+ lines of output. Practically this is a difference that requires a different storage approach, yet semantically inside orgmode I would like to experience as little difference as possible. The question is whether anyone knows of a way to keep the small outputs "inline", but have the option of automagically store the large output inside a separate file (this file may be treated as a read-only file), but still be able to operate on it as if it was not an external file but an part of the current org file. Perhaps based on a toggle command, one could say "include all "external" files inside for a minute while I make my searches, and then purge the read-only "external" files out of current buffer to keep emacs small and speedy. This might be similar in concept to "inline images" - they are a display of read-only file into portion of the buffer - except that no searches and other text operations can be performed on it. Related question: Imagine you are browsing a document which contains an headline with an inline element (like an image or said large number of output lines) which is expensive to obtain and display. Is there a way to say to emacs to delay the loading of this expensive / huge resource until e.g. 5 seconds passes or I press F6 or something to indicate that I am willing to pay (money, time, memory resources) to have the inline item displayer? Any ideas or pointers please? Thank you!! - HJ PS: I dare not ask whether such dynamic inclusion / exclusion could be performed on a read-write file as well, but if anyone dares to venture out on this question, it would be most welcome. This could expand (my) horizons of orgmode's usability!
