Re: [O] [babel] feature request: automatically connect source code block to its session

[Andreas Leha]

Hi Eric,

thanks for looking into this!

Unfortunately, I do not know the setup here.  But I asked on the ess
mailing list and got an answer from Stephen Eglen:

"I think you want to set ess-local-process-name given by the :session
argument in the .org buffer when the temp buffer is opened by C-c '."

I hope that is the information you need.

Regards,
Andreas
