Hello all! I'm looking into building a framework around system tools using Leo. The basic concept would be that Leo would execute commands (via a thread/subprocess), and receive some sort of callback once the process has exited, and then use information gathered while the process was running to create / update nodes in the outline.
Is there a standard way (or any way at all) that manages to do something like this? I managed to get Leo to spawn some threads that will do the work, but I have no idea how to notify Leo when the process is exited so it can attempt to update the nodes. I tried making a callback function to update the nodes, but since it gets run from the spawned thread, it is unable to do any updates to the Leo (it just crashes). Also note that using a thread / subprocess is important for long- running programs like nmap. If they aren't run in another thread they freeze up Leo until they are complete. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
