Is there a > workaround or fix for this? I don't think Leo makes any effort to set that to anything in particular. Better perhaps to use the path implied by the outline tree. The API for this has advanced, but is perhaps not completely mature / clear / documented yet. Basically Leo's concept of path is that the path at the top of the outline in the same as the path to the folder containing the .leo file. This is probably the path you're hoping to get from os.getcwd(), and can be got from: c.getNodePath(c.topPosition()) and possibly other ways. Note that this means the the meaning of paths changes when a file goes from new never saved to saved for the first time. Further down the outline the path may be modified relatively or absolutely by @path nodes. And of course if the node is part of a derived file (@file, @auto, @shadow, etc.) that file can specify it's own path in the node headline. So given this outline in a file called /home/me/test.leo 1 ToDo 2 thing 1 3 thing 2 4 @path extra 5 notes 6 @file src/main.py 7 class Main I would expect the following paths: 1 /home/me/ 2 /home/me/ 3 /home/me/ 4 /home/me/extra 5 /home/me/extra 6 /home/me/extra/src (?) 7 /home/me/extra/src (?) but I'm unclear as to the preferred methods for finding (a) the path in effect at the node, and (b) the path of the derived file of which the node is a part, if any. Perhaps Edward can fill in those details. Cheers -Terry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
