First off, I am a newbie user. I setup this file with Leo about 4 years ago and have not altered any directives since that time. I found the documentation somewhat dense for me, and so I stuck with what worked ... so that's why I use @root. I do not have any @file directives.
The build I am using I guess is the B2 trunk. As soon as Edward fixed the tangle and @silent directive, I downloaded bzr and did a full pull down. I have not updated since. I have only updated Leo when my laptop dies. During this time I have seen the keyboard shortcut for tangling all appear and disappear from newer builds. I saw a useful button that allowed me to set bookmarks and to return to that section .. and that is now gone. Guess that's the problem with complex software. Not knowing why things are being changed. The only other new thing I am doing in the last few months is to store my .leo files in a http://www.getdropbox.com/ directory so that my files get replicated. Occasionally I see Leo messages about being unable to delete temp files as they are in use ... so presumably getdropbox is also replicating temp files. I too wondered if I had the file open in another instance .. but no such luck. Where are the logs I should post? On Mon, Jul 6, 2009 at 4:41 AM, Ville M.
