Hi again, > Try opening a command shell and then start Leo with python.exe instead of > pythonw.exe. There may be errors there not captured by the log window
Good Hints, python.exe instead of pythonw.exe at least is able to open files from inside Leo. This Leo 4.10-final installer installs a leo which in its default configuration IS NOT ABLE TO OPEN FILES on win7 using python3 [1] FIX SUGGESTION: - remove 'Looking for the latest version? Download LeoSetup-4.10- final.exe (4.3 MB)' from http://sourceforge.net/projects/leo/files/Leo/4.10%20final/ or - better - just remove the installer. Its not 'final'. Its broken. - in http://webpages.charter.net/edreamleo/installing.html#installing-leo-on-windows replace target of link 'Leo’s download page' with http://www.greygreen.org/leo/ - in leo-editor-latest.zip add a windows-friendly-batch called launchLeo.bat in folder where launchLeo.py resides. contents of the .bat: --- snip --- @echo off REM if your python.exe is not on your PATH, add full path to your python.exe here set PYTHON_TO_USE=python.exe REM DO NOT EDIT FROM HERE set LEO_TO_START=%~dp0launchLeo.py set DIR_TO_WORK_IN=%~dp1 set FILE_TO_OPEN=%~nx1 cd %DIR_TO_WORK_IN% %PYTHON_TO_USE% %LEO_TO_START% %FILE_TO_OPEN% REM see 'Using batch parameters' at http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/percent.mspx --- snip --- - at http://www.greygreen.org/leo/: after 'To run Leo (...)' add: 'Hint: if the downloaded zip is broken, deactive your lousy configured proxy' ;-) - at http://webpages.charter.net/edreamleo/installing.html#installing-leo-on-windows add the text: 4. to register *.leo files with Leo: run launchLeo.py in Leo, create a file C:\myCode.leo close Leo in Explorer, click the C:\myCode.leo as program to open select the topmost launchLeo.bat in the Leo directory. if clicking *.leo files still does not work, then python is not on your PATH. In that case open that launchLeo.bat and set the correct path to your python.exe 5. to give *.leo files an icon: (gosh, i forgot how to do that on windose7, can anyone help out?) thats just a suggestion from my side to help the windows people. Dont take it personally :-) im now going through the leoDocs.leo. Have a lot of questions, lets see if the tut answers them. thanks, Nils [1] (but it works if called with python instead of pythonw). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
