Why not working-file and archive-file? Archive-file would be the big file and working-file would be the small file in that scheme. On Wed, 12 Oct 2011, brian powell wrote: > * Maybe EMACS "narrowing" could be used: > http://www.gnu.org/s/libtool/manual/emacs/Narrowing.html > ... > Narrowing ca

If org-mode runs into that kind of problem one way might be when a new .org file is made it has a chained from [main.org] statement in the top. If the file remains small enough that's all it would get. If the file is going to go beyond x lines in length, then a chained to [file.org] would end

For my org files my linum-overlays length is equal to the number of lines on the screen so perhaps there's something you can do to get better performance. I'm not sure what setting it would be, I'm running e24 with my own complicated linum-format. Scott On Thu, Oct 13, 2011 at 9:23 PM, Marcelo d
