Managing your myLeoSettings.leo is a new user's nightmare. Now that I get it, I think I'm doing better.
However, we need a sample myLeoSettings.leo that users can start with. I made the initial mistake of copying LeoSettings.leo to myLeoSettings.leo and then starting to customize. That's not really a good strategy, because 90% shouldn't be tweaked by a new user. Now, I open both, and copy nodes I want to customize between outlines. Edward K.
