This is great feedback! > 3. Step 6 of the Windows install steps looks like this: > > ftype LeoFile=C:\Python26\pythonw.exe “C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages > \leo\launchLeo.py” “%1” assoc .leo=LeoFile > > The problem is the "assoc .leo=LeoFile" should be typed on a line by > itself.
I've reported this before, but I don't see a bug# for it; perhaps it was by email? In any case here are some properly formatted install instructions, a little out of date: http://www.maphew.com/How_To/Installing_Leo_Editor_on_Windows > 6. The batch file example given under "Running Leo" does not match the > one given in the Install instructions. > > Running Leo: > cd <path-to-leo> > c:\\Python26\\python <path-to-leo>launchLeo.py %1 This is an interactive example, the %1 should be removed as it's only applicable when used inside batch files. > Installing Leo: > @C:\Python26\python.exe -i “C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\leo > \launchLeo.py” %* this doesn't make sense to me. It's an example of running leo, not installing it. ... and I don't see it on this page, are you pulling this from somewhere else? http://webpages.charter.net/edreamleo/install.html#installing-leo-on-windows >Running Leo: >cd <path-to-leo> >c:\\Python26\\python <path-to-leo>launchLeo.py %1 the "cd <path-to-leo>" is superfluous and can be removed. > 6a. There's a difference between "%1" and "%*". %1 means pass the first parameter after the batch file name, %* means pass all parameters. The latter is better in the context of a batch in PATH to start Leo from the command line. The former is used in the context of filetype association. > 6c. The double backslashes are not needed. yes. in an older version of the web docs there were no slashes at all. There is something wrong with the leo->html converter. At least in the current version the double backslashes will still work, unlike everythingmashedtogether. :) thanks again for taking the time to write this up! -- -matt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
