Maybe it's me, but I have a hard time understanding what you want to do. It might be more clear to speak of branches (= a given node and its descendants) rather than nodes "containing clones". If you clone a node that has descendants, it looks like you've only cloned the one node (i.e. only the "top node" of that branch has the clone indicator in the icon. Functionally, you've cloned the whole branch - all of those nodes are in fact the exact same as their instances in the other locations, and you can confirm this with "goto-next-clone" (which I have mapped to Alt-N, not sure if this is default or not). If you want a lower-level node to have a different (non-clone) parent, you can either manually create one or copy and regular-paste (not retain-clone) the appropriate node, and then do a clone of the target lower-level node under the new non-clone parent. If you want a cloned parent to have different children under its different locations/instances, that is not possible in Leo and AFAIK from past threads here will never be possible, as it just doesn't make sense within Leo's data model - the two instances of a cloned node actually represent *the same exact node* including its relationships to its children. (of course if I've interpreted things wrongly I hope those more knowledgeable than me will step in and correct). Hope this helps - if not, perhaps an example of what you're trying to do would help us understand your question better. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
